Fruit you can taste and can handle

1.
Fruit you can taste and can handle
Comes by believing God’s Word
And by abiding in Jesus—
Doing each word that you’ve heard.
Chorus:
All His commandments obeying,
Through the great grace of our God,
Brings forth the virtues of Jesus—
Fruits of your life in the Lord.
2.
Bearing about in the body
Daily the dying of Christ,
Seeking by faith all His virtues,
Thus you’ll partake of His life.
3.
Words of divine exhortation,
Faithful each one to fulfill;
Strong in the grace in Christ Jesus,
Constantly doing God’s will.
4.
Patient with joy in each trial,
Loosed from the things of this earth;
Gripped by the glory of Jesus,
Suff’ring to bring it to birth.
