Hebrews 12:15- Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and by this many become defiled.
Can we identify
Bitter roots in disguise
Mistaken as discernment
Seen through deceived eyes
There is a danger
Having only one root
It will choke your walk
It will destroy your fruit
To avoid the dry places
The barren wilderness
Remove from your hard soil
The roots of bitterness
There's plenty of teachers
Throughout the church system
They prey on the weak
They hunt the victims
Hungry wolves show up
They wipe away tears
They speak the right words
For all the itching ears
You can choose self pity
Freedom or a fetter
Choose to be bitter
Or decide to be better
You alone make that choice
In every hard trial
Because those bitter roots
Many they will defile
