Lyrics
Verse 1: In the orchard of our hearts, we bear our fruit, Some sweet and ripe, some bitter, bruised, and mute. But grace descends like rain upon the soil, Forgiveness blooms, releasing us from our toil.
Pre-Chorus: No need for penance, no remorseful plea, For God’s love flows unconditionally. He sees our broken branches, twisted vines, And whispers, “Child, forgiveness is divine.”
Chorus: Let the bad fruit fall, No need for penance, no remorseful plea, For God’s love flows unconditionally. He sees our broken branches, twisted vines, And whispers, “Child, forgiveness is divine.”
Let the Bad Fruit Fall!
Verse 2: The fig tree withered, barren and forlorn, Yet Jesus said, “Give it another morn.” He pruned away the dead, the fruitless strife, And in that act, He gave it second life.
Pre-Chorus: No need for penance, no remorseful plea, For God’s love flows unconditionally. He sees our broken branches, twisted vines, And whispers, “Child, forgiveness is divine.”
Chorus: Let the bad fruit fall, No need for penance, no remorseful plea, For God’s love flows unconditionally. He sees our broken branches, twisted vines, And whispers, “Child, forgiveness is divine.”
Let the Bad Fruit Fall!
Bridge: We were once the workers of lawlessness, Lost in darkness, bound by sin’s distress. But Jesus, the Gardener, tends our souls, Pruning, grafting, making our broken life whole.
Chorus: Let the bad fruit fall, let mercy reign, In the shadow of the cross, we find our gain. No condemnation here, just open arms, Forgiveness, like a river, calms life’s storms. Let the Bad Fruit Fall!
Outro: So let the bad fruit fall, surrender all, For God’s forgiveness stands, unshaken, tall. In His orchard of grace, we find our place, Where love redeems, and every heart finds space.
(Spoken Word)
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
