The Fruit of Self Control
God in the scriptures declares His fruits
that is to be the character of His elect
in His list of fruits there's one He lists last
but it's equally important as any of the rest
Every believer needs to exercise this
being on top of their emotions real hard
need the help of the holy spirit to dwell
residing within make sure we're on guard
Satan is always seeking us to sin
luring around kidding us complacent be
needing to put on all of God's armour
so to stand firm in God so all will see
Be continually filled with God's word
read and study the word of the Lord
so you can show a real spiritual effect
being in tune with God's divine chord
Give thanks to God for this fruit
working in you moulding His own trait
be sure to stick close in God alone
following onto reach heaven's gate
(But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" Galatians 5: 22-23)
