We need to pray to God each day,

For His Spirit to fill our soul.

So we can experience His many fruits,

Just as Paul, His apostle told.

Because Jesus is our Savior,

His Spirit dwells within.

Let’s daily pray for self-control.

He’ll help us turn from sin.

If we love the Lord our Sovereign God

With all our heart, mind and being,

And love our neighbors as ourselves,

What joy and peace we will be seeing.

We should treat all others with kindness,

And practice patience in all we face.

Then our faithfulness will be evident,

At all times in every place.

Gentleness is a form of humility,

And a trait we all should show.

Then goodness and mercy will follow,

As His fruits from our heart does flow.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
