Chorus:Bring forth the fruit of the Spirit in your life,
Let the life of Christ be seen in you;
Bring forth the fruit of the Spirit in your life,
And let the Lord be glorified in you.
Seek His patience and His kindness,
Seek His gentleness and self-control,
Seek His goodness and His faithfulness
And seek most His peace, and joy and love.
