Ben Harper - Steal My Kisses

Fruit of the Spirit Song

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity;
The work of the Spirit will make you faithful, He'll make you gentle, He'll give you self-control.

There is no law against such things.
So when you find out you're a king;
Don't make one.

I wrote this to help me (us?) memorize the fruit of the Spirit, it's in Galatians 5:22-23.

It's the Way

It's the way your hand rests upon us
You are moving all around us now
It's the beauty of your will in motion
And we see You moving

It's the way You light just the path ahead
Not too far, but enough to see
It's the way You speak so clearly, deeply
Not loud but gentle, calling

   Lord, let us hear your quiet voice
   We'll sing the words you give
   Your will done in us

   Lord, lay your hand upon us now
   Impart the gifts we need
   Your will done in us

We have come to love You and trust You
Because of what we've seen You do

Silver Wings - Thrice

This is the last song from the sub-album entitled Air. It follows the pattern set out in the other three sub-albums (Fire, Water, Earth) in speaking prophetically from the viewpoint of the element.

From tender years you took me for granted
But still I deign to wander through your lungs
While you were sleeping soundly in your bed,
(Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung)

I drew the poison from the summer's sting,
And eased the fire out of your fevered skin.
I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing;
And if you'd let me I would move again.

I've danced 'tween sunlit strands of lover's hair;
Helped form the final words before your death.
I've pitied you and plied your sails with air;
Gave blessing when you rose upon my breath.

And after all of this I am amazed,
That I am cursed far more than I am praised.
