Fruit Takes Time

I asked the Lord for patience

He threw me into the waiting

Told Him to make me righteous

And I almost became a bitter man

Asked Him to heal His church

And He put my face to a mirror

I sought the strength of God

And I found it in my weakness

Oh, what a funny thing

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Oh

Ooh

Now I see my foe as family

When I know my God as Father

Ooh

And I walk the path that's narrow

Even when it looks longer

Now I know that I don't know better

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Well, I just

Thank God Your ways are better than mine, oh

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Break my heart if that's what it takes

Find me faithful, good fruit takes time to grow

Mold me, shape me, change me daily

Find me faithful, good fruit takes time to grow

Oh, break my heart if that's what it takes

Find me faithful, good fruit takes time to grow

Mold me, shape me, change me daily

Find me faithful, good fruit takes time to grow

Thank God Your ways are better than mine

Thank God Your ways are better than mine
