Love, Fruit of the Spirit
Love is alive, a fire inside
Burning away every fear, each doubt
With kindness and hope, light
From the heart who believes and sees
Jesus in every color, each dream
Across all the mountains and even in the sea
Love is alive, brighter than insight
Turning joy into wonder, silence to peace
Promising the spirit to always be
Shimmering like the stars in the night
With reflections of joy pouring out the light
That will reveal each whisper of tenderness
Love is alive, stirring up new wonders
Filling every thought with beauty and astonishment
Surprising even the past with echoes steadfast,
Washing away all the worry, painting hearts
In splendor so adoring, praising the One who knows
Hearts and souls are on a spiritual journey
Love is alive, magnifying the grace that thrives
Silencing every anxiety, erasing every cloud
With miracles of moonbeams shining
Enlightening the heart and delighting the soul
Enriching every moment with the brilliance of elation
Raining down to remind each heart of His gratification
Love is alive, praising the healer of all strife
The One who rose from death to give us new life
The Creator of hope, the Maker of faith
The One who told us to live, not for material things,
But for those things that bring the heart
Into the presence of His everlasting grace
Love is alive, praying for the blessing to survive
All of the pain, the sorrow, the anger
All of those things that make a heart question
All of those things that leave a soul uncertain
All of those things that bring suspicion and mistrust
Despite all the darkness, believe in the light of a love…
A love that is alive and will always survive the tests of time
Because it is a love inspired… by the One who loves completely
With a heart that reaches beyond every reservation
Into the realms of mercy and peace, everlasting compassion
A sure and honest authenticity, belief that arises from a spirit
Who knows He is the only One who makes a life worth living!
Love is alive – never forget that His love will provide
For every whisper of a need, for every want, each poverty
His love is alive – it is heaven sent, to bring the heart
Assurance, belief… the wisdom to trust in His miracles
Which bring the fruits of the spirit, including this love…
Out of the shadows, into the light, … inspiring appreciation
… for a fruit that’s been planted by His gentle spirit
Love is alive – it only needs to be given
It’s a fruit planted by seeds of generosity
Give and your crop will always be bountiful!
With love like this, there is a harvest so amazing
It will silence every worry, every fear, each tear
Assuring the soul of God’s unending wisdom and favor!
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
