Beautiful poem
I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Thy savoury salt to be
That all the world may see my God:
Thy glory seen in me!

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
E'en though I'm full of sin
For Jesus bore them on the cross
And now I'm cleansed within!

I wan to bear They fruit, O Lord
I've tried without success
To bear these fruits all by myself,
Producing emptiness.

I want to bear They fruit, O Lord
For thy Word speaks to me
And makes me yearn to bear this fruit
An off'ring unto Thee.

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Let me abide in Thee
The vine of truth and nourishment,
The source of fruit, so free!

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
My heart I'll not withhold;
I give to Thee all that I have
To fashion and to mould

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Of love and gentleness,
Of peace and joy and self-control
And blessed faithfulness.

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
To bear them everyday!
So keep me clinging to Thy side
Forever, all the way!

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
Till thou wilt come again
Then, taken up, I can procliam:
"My life was not in vain!"

I want to bear Thy fruit, O Lord
O Jesus, hear my plea:
Bestir my soul, this moment start
To change my life for Thee!
