Jesus Is the Vine...

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!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
