To undo what man has done
you'll have to be a strong one.
To go against the tide,
to refuse the easy ride,
you'll have to resist pride.
While everyone to Babylon flocks -
if you don't, you'll be mocked,
hated, scorned, given in contempt
a crown of thorns -
told you're not of God.
They'll enthusiastically trample
your Holy ephod.
They'll try to kill you
believing they have God's blessing,
all the while confessing
Jesus is Lord!
We love Him so!
But you? You we hate!
To you we just can't relate!
From our midst you must go!
And so - you will know them by their fruit.
It's this simple mate -
do they love you or do they hate you?
Do they receive you or do they berate you?
Do they relegate you to the place of lepers,
outside the camp - untouched and unloved
and unable to rise above
the label they ply you with?
The fruit of the flesh
tastes like death.
The fruit of the Spirit
is sweet and nourishing, full of life, oh hear it!
For your heart will guide you
for you heart is where He dwells inside you.
Your heart will let you know
should you stay or should you go?
you'll have to be a strong one.
To go against the tide,
to refuse the easy ride,
you'll have to resist pride.
