Fruits & Gifts Of Holy Spirit

"Fruits & Gifts Of Holy Spirit" is an earnest, petitionary song calling on the Third Person of the Trinity to take control and bestow divine graces. Written with a gentle, flowing melody, it serves as a direct prayer from the choir loft, inviting the congregation to open their hearts to the Spirit's guidance.

The structure of the piece is both prayerful and catechetical. The chorus establishes a meditative atmosphere with its simple, repetitive plea, "Holy Spirit, take control." From there, the verses systematically list the spiritual graces we seek. The first verse asks for the fruits of the Spirit—joy, love, peace, faithfulness, and self-control—while the second verse turns to the traditional seven gifts, including wisdom, understanding, counsel, and the fear of God.

Choirmasters will find this piece especially fitting for Pentecost Sunday, Confirmation Masses, or any liturgy where a deep, reflective invocation of the Holy Spirit is needed. The straightforward English lyrics and accessible harmony make it easy for the faithful to internalize the words and join in the prayer.
