The
Vine
Here
I am Lord once again, another restless night ahead
Careless
words and bitter thoughts echo loudly in my head
Your
peace is what I long for
as I
reach into the darkness, I can’t find it.
The storm it takes it’s toll, and I’m so empty in
my soul … In my soul.
But
a new day dawns and I can see, the truth Your word
reveals to me
And
now the enemy, he cannot take my joy … take my joy!
Chorus
I
claim my joy, I claim my peace
I
claim all fruits of love and kindness Jesus Christ has promised me
Abundantly
those fruits will grow to produce the sweetest wine
And
this branch will not be severed from the one true,
The one true living vine, the One true living vine.
Bridge
Truth
lies in your promise, when in me You abide
And
I’ll abide within you … the one true living vine.
When
attack comes from the enemy, ever seeking to destroy
I
proclaim Your Spirit’s power, and he cannot … he cannot steal my joy!
Repeat
Chorus
I
claim my joy, I claim my peace
I
claim all fruits of love and kindness Jesus Christ has promised me
Abundantly
those fruits will grow to produce the sweetest wine
And
this branch will not be severed from the one true,
One true living vine, one true living vine.
Abide
in me, Jesus …
For
You are the vine.
The
one true living vine
You
are the vine … my Jesus
You
are the vine.
