Only A Branch
“I am the vine, ye are the branches” – John 15:5
Tis only a little Branch,
A thing so fragile and weak,
But that little Brach has a message true to give, could it only speak.
“I’m only a little Branch,
I live by a life not mine,
For the sap that flows through my tendrils small
Is the life blood of the Vine.
No power indeed have I
The fruit myself to bear,
But since I’m part of the living Vine,
Its fruitfulness I share.
Dost thou ask how I abide?
How this life I can maintain?-
I am bound to the Vine by life’s strong band,
And I only need to remain.
Where first my life is given,
In the spot where I am set,
Upborne and upheld as the days go by,
By the stem which bears it met me yet.
“I fear not the days to come,
I dwell not on the past,
As moment by moment I draw life,
Which for evermore shall last.
