Poison Tree Lyrics by Ghost Ship

A River With No End – EP

2011

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out
And plant something new

[Chorus]
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out
And plant something new

[Chorus]
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Now I can live, I’ll live in Him

[Pre-Chorus]
Come and dig me up, reach down to the roots
Rip the deadness out

[Chorus]
I am alive, I will abide
In the life giving blood of Christ
I’m grafted in, You’ve killed my sin
Now I will live, I’ll live in Him
