The Fruit of the Holy Spirit


Galatians 5:22 - 26

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
Renewing your soul in life a new lease;
Along with longsuffering and self-control,
Caring and compassionate for to console;
A kindly goodness that's faithful who seek,
Filled with the humbleness in being meek;
Being of Christ Jesus to crucify the skin,
Of all the passions and lusts filled with sin;
If we live by the Spirit then let's also walk,
Instead of all our bickering as we squawk.
Some people must control all that they do,
And rather argue than seeing another view;
In their heart peace and joy does not exist,
Other people's problems they won't assist;
It's really fairly simple very plain to see,
God's Spirit is not in them flowing freely;
They need to let the Spirit to set the fire,
For burning up all of their earthly desire;
Then release control to the Holy Spirit,
Inviting the Holy Spirit in for to inhabit.
