The Living Vine, a Reality

1
The living vine, a reality
Of God and man, one organically
Mutual abode, organism sweet.
Expression full, mingling complete.
2
When we abide, there's a flow within.
As branches we—are expressing Him.
Our God needs us, we depend on Him.
To bear much fruit, to bring others in.
3
Father, Cultivator—Husbandman,
The source is He.
Soil, sunshine and the air—
Nutrients complete.
Son, the living vine is—
The embodiment of God.
And the Spirit makes Him real—
As the life juice sweet!

Stanza 3 may be used as a counter melody with Stanzas 1 and 2.

When we abide, there’s a flow within.

As branches we—are expressing Him.

Our God needs us, we depend on Him.

To bear much fruit, to bring others in.
