Fruit of the Spirit

Fruit of the Spirit is love.
…Spirit is love
Oh lord, what am I doing? I’ve gone astray. My spirit needs renewing—
I need some time today, where I can get away and pray for a change;
I need your spirit… I need your peace.
Now I’ve seen my life, I’ve felt the strife, when I have tried to make it
Without you— what am I doing?
I felt and emptiness,
And loneliness, and lot’s of stress… oh no
Away from you.
Please fan the flame inside my heart… re-new me
Lord -my inmost part and lead me
Oh, by your spirit.
How did I get so far away from you?
My strength is gone; I’m torn in two
Without you near-
I need your spirit; I need your joy…
Bridge
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bare.
All because we do not carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, self-control…
