Sung to the tune for I Will Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving

1.
I am thankful my God for the fruit of your spirit
That can grow in all who believe.
I will praise you so loud that the world can hear it,
And pray that some who hear it will receive.

Use my praise oh Lord,
Use my praise oh Lord,
To glorify your name in this dark world.
Use my praise oh Lord,
Use my praise oh Lord,
To glorify your name in this dark world.

2.
I am so thankful my God for the fruit of your love
That caused you to suffer great loss.
I am so thankful to Christ who came from above,
And paid for all our sins upon the cross.

Jesus you are Lord,
Jesus you are Lord,
I'll praise you ever as King of Kings.
Jesus you are Lord,
Jesus you are Lord,
I'll praise you ever as King of Kings.

3.
I'm so thankful my God for the fruit of your joy
That your Holy Spirit imparts.
I am thankful it grows in every girl and boy
Who let's the Savior Jesus in their hearts.

Hear my praise oh Lord,
Hear my praise oh Lord,
I'll praise your precious name both day and night.
Hear my praise oh Lord,
Hear my praise oh Lord,
I'll praise your precious name both day and night.

4.
I'm so thankful my God for the fruit of your peace
In the midst of life's great riot.
I'm so thankful that even though wars never cease,
In Jesus I can find peace and quiet.

Calm my soul oh Lord,
Calm my soul oh Lord,
And be the prince of peace within my mind.
Calm my soul oh Lord,
Calm my soul oh Lord,
And be the prince of peace within my mind.

5.
I am thankful my God for the fruit of your patience
That held back your judgment on me.
You often in mercy spared the ancients,
And left us records in your Word to see.

Give me patience Lord,
Give me patience Lord,
That others might see your patience in me.
Give me patience Lord,
Give me patience Lord,
That others might see your patience in me.

6.
I am so thankful to God for the fruit of kindness
So needed in this world of sin.
I am thankful that though the world can be mindless,
The Holy Spirit still can work within.

Work within me Lord,
Work within me Lord,
Produce your loving kindness in my heart.
Work within me Lord,
Work within me Lord,
Produce your loving kindness in my heart.

7.
I am so thankful my God for your fruit of goodness
That flows from your own gracious heart.
I am thankful that through us this world you could bless
In your salvation plan we play a part.

Fill with goodness Lord,
Fill with goodness Lord,
And share your love for sinners through my life.
Fill with goodness Lord,
Fill with goodness Lord,
And share your love for sinners through my life.

8.
I am thankful my God for the fruit of faithfulness,
We can depend on without fail.
I am thankful in this age of such faithlessness
That your more dependable than the mail.

Keep me faithful Lord,
Keep me faithful Lord,
That others might see your spirit in me.
Keep me faithful Lord,
Keep me faithful Lord,
That others might see your spirit in me.

9.
I am thankful my God for the fruit of gentleness,
More Christ like we could never be.
I am thankful for answers to every mental mess,
And that you deal with us so genteelly.

Keep me gentle Lord,
Keep me gentle Lord,
And touch this world Lord genteelly through me.
Keep me gentle Lord,
Keep me gentle Lord,
And touch this world Lord genteelly through me.

10.
I am thankful my God for your fruit of self-control
That keeps us from going astray.
I am thankful Lord that you let us play a role
In determining what we do and say.

Give me self-control,
Give me self-control,
That I might honor you in all I do.
Give me self-control,
Give me self-control,
That I might honor you in all I do.
