Fruit Takes Time

VERSE 1
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

CHORUS
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine, oh

Ooh

VERSE 2
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

CHORUS
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine
Oh I just
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine, oh
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine

BRIDGE
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

CHORUS
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine
Thank God
Your ways are better than mine
