about

The fruit of the Spirit is... kindness (Gal 5:22)

lyrics

All throughout the years the church’s claim to fame
Has often come from cruelty in Jesus’ name
I just don’t understand, why can’t we get it right?
How can we live in darkness, when in Him we’ve seen the light?

Yes Jesus could be hard, and Jesus could be tough
But Jesus always reached out to the ones who’d had it rough
He always gave such love, to friends and enemies
And in His kindness reached out to the least of these

What a change we could see, if everyone could finally
Leave all their hate and cruelty behind
What a world this could be, if you and I could only see
The best in one another and be kind

Show kindness to yourself, oh precious child of God
Please don’t be cruel – you know this life is already so hard
Be kind to those you love, yes each and every one
Don’t leave kind words unspoken, don’t leave kind deeds undone

Be generous and kind, to those who are in need
Don’t let yourself get all caught up in selfishness and greed
And don’t forget your enemies, the ones who hate you so
Be kind and loving to them, and let them go

​Chorus x2
