Fruit of the spirit

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Woke up with a tender heart

Something gentle moving in my chest

I used to fight for every word

Now I lay my anger down to rest

Pre-Chorus

And it grows and it grows in the quiet

Where the morning finds me on my knees

Chorus

Love and joy and peace

Patience kindness goodness too

Faithfulness and gentleness

Self-control I'm learning through you

Love and joy and peace

Let it ripen let it bloom

Post-Chorus

Fruit of the spirit

Fruit of the spirit

Verse 2

My neighbor cut me to the bone

I wanted justice I wanted a war

But a softer voice kept saying home

Said forgiveness is an open door

Pre-Chorus

So it grows so it grows in the aching

Where I trade my bitter roots for grace

Chorus

Love and joy and peace

Patience kindness goodness too

Faithfulness and gentleness

Self-control I'm learning through you

Love and joy and peace

Let it ripen let it bloom

Post-Chorus

Fruit of the spirit

Fruit of the spirit

Bridge

Not by my strength

Not by my hands

Something holy tends this ground

Not by my strength

Not by my hands

I am watered I am found

Chorus

Love and joy and peace

Patience kindness goodness too

Faithfulness and gentleness

Self-control I'm learning through you

Love and joy and peace

Let it ripen let it bloom

Post-Chorus

Fruit of the spirit
