| THE FRUIT OF LOVE by Mary Alice Bowles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fruit of Love Along the narrow path of love There is one who watches from above He spreads his wings And gathers his fruit And is gentle as a dove A good tree brings forth beautiful fruit With flavors fit for a King Pruned for a life of abundance There is nothing I can’t achieve As long as I obey the Lord My Fruit will remain To glorify my Father Ask what I will in Jesus name A fruit and its colors are easily known Sharing Gods love and his Amazing grace Visiting the sick, giving to the poor Spreading Gods love door to door I’m held to the vine by a beautiful thread Not made of earthly string or twine His promises to me are yes and amen And they are good all the time Each tree in the woods bears its kind Delivering fresh produce to the vine We must be sure to hear those words Welcome Home, come and dine. We must stay on the vine of the Godly tree Not quick to slumber or sleep Less we be plucked from the vine And thrown into the deep Can we bear the fruit of the spirit? Joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, Faithfulness, gentleness, self control We must spread the wonderful story of Jesus And that story will never grow old. ©Mary Alice Bowles 10/15/05 |
