Abiding in the vine, living connected
sustained, fed, by the love of God
abiding in His love, walking,
journeying in life, to His purposes
to the guiding of the master
a branch growing where the vine leads
bearing a harvest of fruit,
testimony, service,
to those who are hungry
bringing others into the vineyard
grafting other branches
onto the loving vine
abiding in the vine
strengthened by its strength
