Eat the fruit and be fruitful Eat the fruit of love and love is present in the world Eat the fruit of joy and others will be full of joy Eat the fruit and be fruitful We were dead in transgression and sin In darkness God was far away In depression no hope In fear no faith With anxiety no peace But the anointing destroyed the yoke Death gave way to life And we learned to praise Praise a gift of God Praise shattered despair Praise overcame the darkness And God was present God lives in praise He lives in love And joy and peace Praise a song in our heart Praise a word arising from the very depths of our being Praise a word of encouragement A word of comfort The word made flesh Jesus our Messiah and Lord Our Savior and Friend The giver of the Spirit And the home where the Father abides Eat the fruit and be fruitful Eat the fruit of humility and he will open hearts to receive humility Eat the fruit of faith and faith will bring salvation Eat the fruit and you will be fruitful Learn to praise my friend If you die to self And overcome self-consciousness You will experience God And the Spirit will do His work Amen. |
