Jacob Bell - The Fruit of Man

This is all a journey
This is life
Were all carrying so much
Struggling with the fruit of man

Perfection is what I am called to attain
Rejection becomes the fake blame that I place
Hopelessness is what I shove in my face
Vanity is the vague name of the game
Trying to smile
Why can't I laugh
Everyone told me that I had a choice
And now my choices seem to be shouting with their own very different voice
Lost the real sense of who I really am
Am I a Son of God or just a man
Dealing with doubt
Trying to figure it out
But the figures and shadows are clouding my view
Thought I had made it
Believed my faith held
But then I had spoiled can I be made new
This world is lying but YHWH is true
The mountain of Zion is calling you
Pack your bags get ready for the climb
Don't make excuses it's not the time
Are you prepared did you make room
The savior our Christ he will shake you
I take that back he will break you
Mold you like clay and remake you
Fill you with wondrous things
Remove the filth ripe as a grapefruit

Do ya'll ever feel like I do
Like you try so hard
But at the end of the day
Its nothing
Well we have a hope
And though we may live in a broken world
We worship a perfect God thank you

The spirit is searching my heart and mind
Filling my lungs with breaths of all kind
Directing me to bear fruit of all kind
But the fruit that I produce
Is only clean on the outside
Moldy with worms and trash on the inside
Making my real life to live as a big lie
How could I offer this junk it's not even worthy of you
The appearance of health causing cancer to grow
Everyone's clapping but this isn't a show
You are called for greatness didn't you know
But the fruit of man is causing you to lie low
Searching for love but it's omnipresent
Looking for peace but it's past redemption
Trying to be good as if that's the measure
Losing your way but still headed to heaven
The fruit of man is making misconception
Do you know these things let me list them
Lust despair anxiety anger hate evil cheating cruelty not to mention indiscipline's rule
Please fight the devil
These are his tools
Little children we need to take a stand
Cling to the spirit not the fruit of man

We are called to do great things in this life
Live for Jesus
Proclaim his name
And trustingly follow in all of his ways
But to be honest, it's hard sometimes
We're only human
And we deal with so much pain that sin causes
The devil uses the fruit of man to bring us down
But Jesus will always be there to lift us up
Let's go
