Fruits Of The Spirit Songs: "Self Control"

This final entry in the "Fruits of the Spirit" was dogging me, too, making it all but impossible to compile. Finally, I made a breakthrough and came up with more songs than I could use, actually. I tried to narrow it down to the best of the best. While you won't find the phrase "self control" in the titles of these songs (and most often, not in the lyrics either), the spirit and attitude of "self control" as a virtue, or "fruit" as it were, permeates each song in this collection. Did I mention that there are some really great songs here? Because there are. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Fruits Of The Spirit Songs: "Kindness"

Continuing the "Fruits of the Spirit" series, here's a collection of songs about "Kindness."
