Release all things that trouble you
They put you in a bind
Replace them with the Holy Fruit
The Spirit plants inside
Release the fear that follows you
Through every passing thought
Replace it with a lasting love
That only comes from God
Release the sorrow of past sins
That come back just to bother
Replace it with abundant joy
That’s given from your Father
Release the worry that you feel
When thinking of tomorrow
Replace it with the peace of God
That’s permanent not borrowed
Release frustration that demands
You shouldn’t have to wait
Replace it with longsuffering
To guide you through each day
Release the harshness of your tongue
That lashes out at friends
Replace it with His gentleness
Which speaks with good intent
Release the hurtful things you do
When someone does you wrong
Replace it with His goodness
Which makes others feel strong
Release the doubts that creep in
When things just don’t go right
Replace it with unfailing faith
That guides you to His Light
Release all things that make you want
More than you should have
Release the temperance that helps
Your lifestyle to behave
Release the insecurity you feel
When facing unbelief
Replace it with a meekness that
Speaks with authority
Release all things that trouble you
They put you in a bind
Replace them with the Holy Fruit
The Spirit plants inside
