Fruit of the Spirit
There flows forth great qualities
From the life giving King
Called the fruits of the spirit
That make Heaven sing
The first fruit is love
That can only be known
Through the forgiveness of God
Of the sins we each own
The second fruit is joy
That grows from that love
And the heart's knowing
That it is received from above
The third fruit is peace
The assurance from God
That his love never leaves us
Wherever we trod
The fourth fruit is long suffering
The strength to endure
Knowing God will sustain us
And our footing will be sure
The fifth fruit is gentleness
The willingness to see
The struggles of others
Yet reach out tenderly
The sixth fruit is goodness
The ability to respond
Giving of one's resource
To lift someone who is bound
The seventh fruit is faith
Placing my trust up above
Knowing God's purpose for me
Will be done through His love
The eighth fruit is meekness
Combining strength mixed with grace
Applying God's wisdom
To every challenge we face
The ninth fruit is temperance
Knowing what to do and when
In all situations of life
To bring healing and hope wherever we've been
There cannot be laws made
In the courts of mankind
That outlaw these fruits
Because they are divine
As we spend time with Christ
In His Holy Word
These fruits will flow through us
In one accord.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
