John 15:1-8 NRSV
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, as for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."
Jesus, vine from Father God,
Heaven’s plant on earthly sod,
Nectar of life.
Speak to us the word of truth,
Give us the eternal food,
Nurture our soul.
Jesus, vine which grafts us in,
No more to be thorns of sin,
Fruit we would bear.
Cut away from you we die,
So, in you we would abide,
Safe from the fire.
Jesus, vine of truth and love,
Help us strive for life above,
Forever more.
Father God to glorify,
As your word in us abides;
So, let it grow.
I Am the Vine
