I Am the Branch Jesus Is the Vine

I am the branch, Jesus is the vine. For I am his, and he is mine. To remain in him, I'll bear good fruit. This is God's command so absolute. God, the gardener, comes to trim and to prune. For he wants me to blossom and to bloom. Bearing good fruit is his upmost desire, For every bad branch will be thrown into the fire. Engrafted in Jesus...HIS joy I'll receive. For he's my very best friend who will never leave. By obeying his commands, in his love, I'll abide. For if I'm truly in him- I'll have nothing to hide! Living for Jesus, will be my true pleasure. For HE is my vine, my rock, and my treasure! By Jim Pemberton 2006
