The vine sends its strength into the bud and then the fruit It receives nourishment from sun and the vines root This exchange of growth takes place where no one else can see The fruit must stay attached until it finds its destiny
It is in the dreary days that the rain pours down One might think their hopes and dreams would be lost and drown Hang onto the vine with all the strength that you can raise Rest in God’s Word and turn your doubts into His praise
Fruit takes time to ripen and develop a pleasing scent It is in the tasting when perfection is evident The fruit of the spirit grows in us the same way What other see and taste will show our hearts display
It’s really just that simple stay connected to the vine That person is transformed to reflect the divine If you remain in Him, He will remain in you Everything that God’s Word says will manifest as true

John 15:5-6 – “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”
Galatians 5:22-25 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
