God calls His own people to live
a life that bears real good fruit
fruit that comes from true living tree
both connected at it's very root
We need to be rooted in Christ
living for Him surrendered to His will
filled with His spirit display His love
hoping expectantly for His coming still
But in this world of fallenness
we have a fight deep within
there our sinful nature fights us
striving to keep us down in sin
In all of this battle within our soul
God's promised in us to show His son
showing His loving compassion to fill
us fully so we be Christ like won
Take courage keep looking to Jesus
in Him you'll be a fruit bearing tree
overcome sin, Satan and all things
in Christ alone fruitful you'll be
(' You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits'.)
Matthew ch. 7 vs. 16-20 (ESV)

One's life can be so full
with various kinds of extreme
makes one so lopped sided
not seeking as one does seem
When you want to hold yourself
in a state of extreme fallenness
going from one end of spectrum
to the other fulfilling your barrenness
Such an up and down life cycle
removes any balance you may attain
by pushing your mind about to burst
makes one think you could be insane
This shows the importance to find balance
proving that maturity is your key
to be living holding all things equal
so your eyes can ever so plainly see
Once you've found key to balance
so important you hold this vital thing
life with balance so satisfying
this gift a present to many may bring
