        FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT
        Galatians Ch 5 22 23,25
Do we carry the gifts of the spirit,
Do we strive hard and never quit,
Love, joy, peace and longsuffering,
Gentleness, goodness faith, seeking?

Are we full of meekness, temperance,
And other virtues, love God’s expanse
Of beauty, be free from wicked strife
And will every day to live a good life.

If the fruits of the spirit are just inside,
Then the goodness of God we do hide,
For we know that actions speak quite clear,
Much more than words that people hear.

Read the whole of chapter five one day,
Read of the things that lead us astray,
Stop our progression to our God above,
It teaches well what prevents sweet love.
