Show Me The Fruit

Southern gospel with Nordic roots, an 82 BPM driving groove; wooden-hall ambience with spacious scripture recitation and dynamic dropouts; mournful female lead with sacred authority, call-and-response and gospel melody lift, low background choir; acoustic guitar, low cello, mournful fiddle, warm Hammond organ, walking upright bass, clean deep frame drums and sparse handclaps; triumphant declaration hook

[Intro]
I hear it through the screen—

“We need your money.”
“We need your support.”
“We cannot do the good work
until people fund us.”

And immediately
THE WORD rises in my mind—

WHO SUPPLIES THE NEED?

[Verse 1]
“But my God shall supply
all your need
according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.”

THERE IT IS.

A brother may give.
A sister may send.
Receive it with thanksgiving.

But never mistake
THE CHANNEL
FOR
THE SOURCE.

OUR FATHER SUPPLIES.

[Hook]
SHOW ME THE FRUIT.

Not another speech
about what everybody else
ought to do.

“the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every man
to profit withal.”

PROFIT WITHAL.

Let the member supply.
Let the burden be carried.
Let the hearer receive.

“Let all things be done
unto edifying.”

DONE.

[Verse 2]
Study the gifts.
Desire spiritual gifts.
Seek to excel
to the edifying of the church.

But knowing the gift
is not the operation.

“there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God
which worketh all in all.”

The Spirit divides
“to every man severally
as he will.”

AS HE WILL.

GOD WORKETH.

[Chorus]
DON’T JUST TELL ME—
LET ME WITNESS IT.

Goodness moving.
Mercy moving.
Grace reaching the hearer.
One member supplying another.

“In all things shewing thyself
a pattern of good works:”

SHEW IT.

His workmanship
was created in Christ Jesus
UNTO GOOD WORKS.

WALK IN THEM.

[Verse 3]
“Depart in peace,
be ye warmed and filled;”

But nothing leaves your hand?

“WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT?”

Words can describe love.

LOVE MOVES.

“let us not love in word,
neither in tongue;
but in deed and in truth.”

IN DEED.
IN TRUTH.

[Break]
Then I hear it again—

“We need more money
before we can do more.”

THE WORD ANSWERS—

“But my God shall supply
ALL YOUR NEED”

Not according to
the size of your audience.

“according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.”

WHO SUPPLIES THE NEED?

OUR FATHER.

[Build]
“And God is able
to make all grace
abound toward you;”

“always having
all sufficiency
in all things”

WHY?

“that ye may abound
to every good work:”

ALL SUFFICIENCY.

EVERY GOOD WORK.

GOD IS ABLE.

[Bridge]
WHO WORKETH ALL IN ALL?

GOD.

WHO DIVIDES AS HE WILL?

THE SPIRIT.

WHO GIVES THE INCREASE?

GOD.

Then take what He supplied
and MOVE.

FEED.
CLOTHE.
CARRY.
EDIFY.

SING.
PREACH.
PROCLAIM CHRIST.

[Final Chorus]
SHOW ME THE FRUIT.

Let goodness MOVE.
Let grace MOVE.
Let mercy MOVE.
Let the GOSPEL MOVE.

Different gifts.
Different administrations.
Different operations.

SAME SPIRIT.
SAME LORD.
SAME GOD
WHICH WORKETH ALL IN ALL.

We plant.
We water.

GOD GIVES THE INCREASE.

[Outro]
I heard—

“WE CANNOT DO THE GOOD WORK
UNTIL PEOPLE FUND US.”

But THE BOOK said—

“But my God shall supply
all your need
according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.”

THAT SETTLES THE SOURCE.

The hand may carry it.

THE HAND IS NOT THE SOURCE.

OUR FATHER SUPPLIES.

Now take what He supplied—

AND GO FORTH.

JESUS IS THE LORD
