I, the branch

You, the vine

I remain in you 

remain in me oh Lord

for no branch will bear fruit

if not in the vine

neither can I

if not in You

Remain in me Lord

I in You

then I bear much fruit

for I am crucified, 

died and raised up with You

I no longer live but You in me

who loved and gave yourself for me

My Lord,

Apart from You

I am none,nobody

But with You in me

I am whole, complete

Can do all things

You have done

can do even more

But without thee my Lord

What is the breath in me?

What are the emotions I felt?

What knowledge is there within me?

neither can I do anything

or can be any

if not for you

For the branch without the vine

Is nothing but dry shattered

thrown to fire.

I hold on to You my Lord

surround me with you love

Keep me close to You

Never let me go

I hold You to your words

For You are faithful 

But, me who is still in flesh...

Never leave me my Lord

nor forsake me

Help me my Lord

for I am nothing & nobody

without thee my Lord.
