John 15 song (Jesus is the Vine)

Song: Jesus is the Vine
Music, Lyrics & Voice: Ai

[Verse1]
I am the vine, the true, eternal way,
And you, the branches, living day by day.
My Father works, the careful vinedresser,
To prune each limb and make it fruitful, richer.

Remain in me, and life will flow and thrive,
A spirit's sap to make your soul alive.
For severed from the vine, the branch will fade,
A withered remnant, in the fire laid.

[Verse2]
But you, made clean by every word I speak,
In my abiding, find the strength you seek.
Abide in me, and I will in you, dwell,
That your great fruitfulness my glory tells.

If you remain, and let my words take root,
Your heart's desire will bear abundant fruit.
And in this harvest, which my love has grown,
The Father's glory will be fully shown.

[Verse3]
As I am loved, so have I loved you, too;
In my great love, I ask that you abide.
Keep my commands, and stay forever true,
As I in my Father's love confide.

This truth I share, that my abundant joy
May be in you, and your own life employ,
Until your joy, a harvest rich and deep,
Is made complete, a promise you can keep.

[Verse4]
For no one shows a greater, deeper love
Than laying down a life for those you love.
And you, my friends, must do as I command;
No longer servants, but a loyal band.

For all the truths the Father shared with me,
I now entrust, my friends, to all of thee.
You did not choose, but I chose you, my own,
That you bear fruit, for my name and my throne.

[Chorus]
So ask the Father, in my name, with trust,
And love each other, as you truly must.
For this command, this love you show and share,
Reveals my presence, and my tender care.
