Poison Tree lyrics

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.
