This tree bears strange fruit

There’s blood on the leaves, it’s dead at the roots
The cracked grey branches are decaying within
Just like the black poison that hangs from it’s limbs

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out, and plant something completely new

I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ

I tried to tie good fruit
To a tree that had poison all the way through
It rotted and fell off, it was dead to the core
It even killed the ground, I was worse than before

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new

I am alive,
I will abide in the life giving blood of Christ
I'm crafted in you've killed my sin
Now i will live i'll live in him

Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out, and plant something new

I am alive,
I will abide, in the life giving blood of Christ

I'm crafted in you've killed my sin
now i will live,
i'll live in him.
