Our lives are like a vineyard
We all grow fruitful like grapes
We need God’s full Son and Water
To make beautiful landscapes
Our diseased parts get healed
When we’re grafted to the true vine
It’s when our Spirits sap gets sealed
That helps us yield the
best wine
Like grapes, we’re crushed and pressed
To bring out a better character
We can yield a bountiful harvest
That’s ready to pour and
decanter
What kind of grape are you growing?
Are they
sweet, smooth or full-bodied?
Or are they dry, bitter or sour to
taste?
Were they ripened with patience or hurried?
Some grapes are grown to be wine
Whilst others are drunk or eaten as
fruit
God knows which ones to dry for raisins
For it’s in Him
that our branches take root
Are your fruits small or bountiful?
Do you have many seeds to offer?
When you are planted in the
right soil
Your skin will ripen much softer
The fruits of
our labor are juicier
When we grow clustered in a bunch
All kind
of grapes can be delicious
When enjoyed together with lunch
We need training to grow upright
With supports that secure
our roots
Our branches need watered and pruned
To yield the best
kind of wine or fruit
Be sure to stay connected to the Vine
Drawing His strength to grow you
best
Wait well, look up but hang low
As you wait on your eternal
harvest
