The True Vine

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”           John 15:1-5

You are the true vine
I am the branch,
apart from You
I am nothing,
within You
I become fruitful,
through You
I can do all things;

because of You
I am a son of the living God.

Your light is greater
than words can express,
Your love fills
even the deepest valley,
Your truth goes
far beyond that
which my limited mind
can comprehend;

hold on to me
forever.
