The Vine

I am the branch and Jesus is the Vine,
 I'm connected to Him and He is Mine.
 He gives me life so rich and free,
 He is my hope for eternity,
 I am the branch and Jesus is the Vine.

 He is the source that gives me eternal life,
 He is the one that takes away all my strife.
 He gives me peace and joy within,
 He is the Lamb slain for my sin,
 I am the branch and Jesus is the Vine.

 If I was not connected into the Vine,
 My life would be hopeless and I would be dying.
 He makes me all that I should be,
 He gives me life abundantly,
 I am the branch and Jesus is the Vine.
