Abiding in God's Vine Archives - Page 2 of 7 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Abiding in Christ

Not seeking elsewhere
Not self, nor those around
But wholly dependent
In Him, all is found.

By this My Father is glorified
That you bear much fruit
So, you will be My disciples”
Let us be fruitful, as His shoot!

So, let us daily cry out
Submit our all, on His altar
All our love, and loyalty
Yield to Jesus, may we not falter.

In Christ we are righteous
Through Him, overcome
By His Spirit, victorious
Our battles are won!

So like Israel, we too co-habit
Instead of purging, die to self
Compromising, we let our flesh
Pursue the carnal, and worldly wealth.

We must hunger for God
Abide daily, in Jesus’ vine
Come dwell in His courts
We’re made dependent, by design.

Set free, from compulsion
He restores our behavior
Our minds are renewed
What a wonderful Savior.

Incline our hearts
Walk all His ways
Do all God says
All of our days.

So forsake selfish wants
Earthly pleasures and pressures
Instead “Here am I”
“LORD, You are my treasure.”

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.
