The Vine

The Vine called out to me the branch…

whatever you do, just don’t let go

I love you more than you could ever know

you don’t have to fret and fear

just look by your side

and you’ll see I’m near

I make the sun to shine upon your face

and I’ve given you everything you need by my glorious grace

my love it truly knows no end

I’m holding you together again and again

The branch replied…

But the wind it blows and it shakes my life

I try to hold on and I’m holding tight

but I feel like this storm is going to tear me apart

it’s hitting me to the core of my heart

The vine said…

Don’t worry about a single thing

In me you’ll find everything

even if the storm blows everything away

I will still be holding you at the end of the day

Your tears I’ve gathered like precious gems

In your ear I’m whispering sweet encouragement

If only you will just stay connected to me

You will find the beauty in everything

The branch it smiled and leaned in close

looking at the vine it could suddenly know

that every care and concern

the vine of course had surely heard

the branch experienced the love of the vine that day

when the fiercest storm came and threatened to blow it away

but as it held on to the vine it soon began to see

that the all along the vine was holding onto me.
