Spiritual Food
Man cannot live by bread alone
But by every word that proceeds
Words spoken by Christ, our Lord
While describing our spiritual needs
Our physical bodies require nutrition
In order to function day by day
Our spirit also has its daily needs
To overcome Satan along life’s way
There are spiritual tools we can use
And the Bible describes them as gifts
They are there, always at our disposal
They are meant to encourage and uplift
These gifts are also known as fruit
A guideline for how we should live
They teach us the qualities of Jesus
How we are to serve and also forgive
Having Peace will bring ultimate Joy
Temperance and Long-suffering you must do
Meekness and Gentleness are equal
Faith and Goodness are required of you
There is a fruit that is much sweeter
Than any of the ones listed above
This fruit is the epitome of Jesus
This precious fruit, we know as His Love
This holy fruit needs to grow every day
And with His Word, it is richly fertilized
As it blossoms, matures inside each of us
Spiritual fulfillment is received and realized
