Spiritual Fruit

In the Bible, we read of God's LOVE
It fills us with JOY from heaven above
Whispering sweet PEACE to us like a dove

With PATIENCE we wait on him to come again
We mirror His KINDNESS from within
Our GOODNESS shows if on Him we depend
FAITHFULNESS assures we'll never forsake Him
the GENTLENESS of a lamb to us He has given
SELF-CONTROL brings us closer to heaven

These spiritual fruits are of the sweetest sort
Savor them and keep them always in your heart
From our Savior, you will never be apart
