Fruit

Galatians 5:22-23 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

 

 

hope

 

Fruit in abundance – produced quantity

Branches bowing down under the load

Some even break but are still hanging on

The fruit still appears healthy but remote

 

The fruit then gets plucked before it’s ripe

Bake them in the Son slowly to perfection

Just another miracle, a simple gift of Life

Yes the Lord knows well the direction

 

It works the same on pears as it does on peaches

Keep them in the sun for in shade they won’t fare

Perfection is so near and the solution teaches

That all who bathe in the Son will find truth there

 

Life goes on silently even when breaks appear

There is a solution always for all the ones that seek

The answer lives so close and catches every tear

If you open your heart to the Way He sets you free

 

Where there is life there is hope and broken you are near it

Where there is breath even small, the Spirit watches gently

When you’re still or when you go, there is nothing to fear Him

If you’re willing to answer the call and reach for Him intently
