FRUITS OF SPIRIT

Give me the fruit of LOVE
Deep within my heart
That I may seek not myself to please
But to others, give and forgive

Give me the fruit of JOY
Deep within my heart
That I may smile in every circumstance
And with joyous strength continues to advance

Give me the fruit of PEACE
Deep within my heart
That I may be still in your presence
And submit my worries to your omniscience

Give me the fruit of PATIENCE
Deep within my heart
That I may understand my neighbor’s imperfection
And bear my burdens with total resignation

Give me the fruit of KINDNESS
Deep within my heart
That I may always be true to you in my life
And submit to your divine will, like a true wife

Give me the fruit of HUMILITY
Deep within my heart
That I may prefer to serve than be served
And let my boastful good work go unobserved

Give me the fruit of SEL CONTROL
Deep within my heart
That I may withhold the emotions of fleshly nature
But rather live by these fruits that you give and nurture
