No Bitter Root

Heb 12:15. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root
grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

 

Chorus

                  D                G                 D

No bitter root to grow up and divide us

                  Bm         Em           D           A

No bitter root to defile the work of God

                  G                     A                     D   Bm

No bitter root causing trouble with our people

                   G                   A                           D

No bitter root sending away the grace of God

 

V1.

D                  G

We are the branches

 A                   D

Christ is the vine

                    G                   D            A

No bitter root to choke out the divine

                          G

We’ll bear the fruit

                     D  Bm

We’ll do the works

                  Em                    A                  D

No bitter root adding a sting into our hurts

V2. In Christ I serve

I wash your feet

No bitter root trying to trip us in deceit

I’ll carry your burden

You bear with mine

No bitter root a heavy load to entwine

 

Ch

 

V3. I will love you

I will forgive

No bitter root to spoil and sour the way we live

No one should miss out

We must see to it

The grace of God for everyone, so sweet (oh so sweet)
