Fruit of Gentleness

Verse 1

Jesus, gentle and lowly
You are the refuge for all who are weary
Slow to anger and great in love
I want to be
Just as you are

I try to live as you've called me
To be a channel of grace, love and mercy
But the anger and fear inside
Still numbs my heart
And clouds my mind

Chorus

Help me to be
Gentle and mild
Loving and kind
Just as you've called me to be
Soften my heart
Temper my mind
Fill me with light
As I go out to the world
Grow in me the fruit of gentleness

Verse 2

Spirit, you are my counsel
Teach me and shape me according to your will
Come and lead me in holiness
So I become
More like my Christ

I will follow your leading
Help me no longer be ruled by my feelings
Only you, Lord, will be my guide
Come change my heart
Transform my mind
