The Fruit of the Spirit.
We thank you Lord for your Spirit's aid
In helping to fulfill the vows we have made;
to to live a life that is pleasing to You
in bearing fruit by the the things that we do.
We pray for 'patience' with all whom we meet,
a 'joyful exuberance' that leads us to 'peace'.
A 'humble acceptance' of the matchless 'grace' from You
as we express 'kindness' and 'goodness',in all that we do.
With 'love' directed by your Spirit's power
we seek to do your will and to serve you hour by hour.
With faithful endurance, and 'soundness of mind',
may we express your truth to all mankind.
This fruit then we pray will grow day by day,
as we bear witness to 'the old old story'.
Until at the last we meet Him face to face
and sing Hosannah to the King of glory!
