There's a focus on religion
Breeding false security
With grace man lets sin enter in
Embracing all impurity
Or else imposing morals
Cold and austere as can be.
It's much too easy or too hard
To gain eternity
Chorus:
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
That manifests each day (Twice each time)
If one claims to be a Christian,
There are things that shouldn't be
Like worldly lust and selfish gain
While brothers live in poverty
Indifference in the Body
Of Christ is so insane
How can we expect--the Lord to bless,
While we're inflicting pain?…C'mon! (chorus)
First Bridge:
Oh Jesus, what's wrong with Your Church?
How is it so far we have strayed?
Please fill us with Your Spirit, Lord
Until You're once again, the Way
Until Your Joy and peace abide
Until You know we're on Your side
Oh Jesus, what's wrong with Your Church?
Oh, Jesus, what is wrong? (chorus)
Chorus:
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
That manifests each day (Twice each time)
Unbridled tongues and angry hearts
Rule and reign from year to year
Demeaning words are justified
But God collects our every tear
So when we hurt each other
Filling tender souls with fear
We can be sure God's love endures
Our conscience He will sear…(chorus)
Chorus:
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
There's gotta be fruit
Among believers
That manifests each day (Twice each time)
If the Holy Spirit dwells within
Our hearts and souls and mind
Then we should be so gentle, meek
And patient, loving…kind… (Chorus twice once again, end)
