We live as chosen branches in the vineyard of our God,
And Jesus is the vine to which we cling.
He wants us to bear fruit that will bring glory to His Name,
And magnify our precious Lord and King.
Our Father is the gard'ner, and with love each branch He prunes,
So we can grow and show a faithful yield.
He chose us and He grafted us to draw our strength from Him,
And be a witness in His harvest field.
Each season has a purpose for the promise of the fruit;
First Springtime's growth, then Summer's ripening.
With Autumn comes the harvest, but the vine needs Winter's rest,
So it can start to grow afresh in Spring.
And so we must be faithful in the seasons that we face,
Until our lives with fruit will overflow.
For as we love each other as the Father has loved us,
In perfect peace and joy we then will grow.
