This video is pure silliness, but the teens in our youth group love it. It is a cross between the Muppets and Veggie Tales. 🙂 It will add some fun to any meeting focused on the Holy Spirit.
This song uses the shorter list of nine fruits of the Holy Spirit given in Galatians 5:22-23. The Catholic Church traditionally lists twelve fruits: charity, joy, generosity, gentleness, peace, faithfulness, patience, modesty, kindness, self-control, goodness, and chastity.
I’ve listed the lyrics underneath the video so you can sing along.
