John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches...


One very practical way to enjoy the Lord is to simply sing His Word! His Word contains the divine life(see John 6:63), and if we use all means to get His word into us, we are being filled with life! This song is so simple yet so sweet - John 15:5, I am the vine, You are the Branches! Listen to / read it online, and enjoy the words below:
Abide in Me, and I in you,
As the branch cannot bear fruit
Of itself unless
It abides in the vine,
So neither can you
Unless you abide in Me.

1. I am the vine,
You are the branches,
He who abides in Me and I in him.
He bears much fruit
For apart from Me you can do nothing.

2. If you abide in Me and my words abide in you
Ask whatever you will and it will be done for you.
When we abide in the Lord and let His words abide in us,
We actually are one with Him as He works within us.
Then when we ask in prayer for whatever we will
It is not only we who are praying
He too is praying, in our praying.
This kind of prayer is related to fruit bearing
and will surely be answered.

3. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and I set you.
That you should go forth and bear fruit,
And that your fruit should remain,
That whatever you ask the Father in my name,
He may give you.
Amen, Lord, we want to be those who abide in You, and who allow Your Words to abide in us!
