Jesus Our Example
The Fruit of the Spirit
When Jesus lived among us,
A man like you and me,
He set a pure example
Of what we all should be:
His love was deep and perfect,
His joy and peace complete,
His patience was amazing,
His gentleness was sweet,
His goodness was unspotted,
His faith held all along,
His meekness was unfailing,
His self-control was strong.
So when we stop and wonder,
‘How do these virtues look?’
We’ve just to look to Jesus
And read His living Book.
He’ll show us by His pattern
How Christians ought to live,
Then, by His Holy Spirit,
The strength and grace He’ll give.
Christina Joy Hommes
“But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23
