Abiding in God's Vine Archives - Page 5 of 7 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

The Fig Tree

Not our knowledge, our ‘leaves’
Our sin, we can’t cover
For God sees our hearts
Any sweet fruit, to discover?

Yes, receive of God’s blessing
First surrender each part
Not the best of our flesh
First, our will and our heart.

Do you seek to withdraw
To that innermost place?
There, we step aside
Meet the God of all grace.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

Take me deeper, dear Lord
Beyond feelings and thought
Come fill with Your Spirit
To live, as I ought.

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.

And beyond death, life eternal
Before His glory, we’ll be
Assured, forever with Jesus
O how blessed, are we!

To be fuel, for Your fire
May this light, burn bright
As a beacon of hope
So lost souls, find sight.

Come fill, and anoint us
Rooted, grounded in love
Comprehending the greatness
Of Jesus love, from above.

God’s wisdom will keep us
From these evil ways
So, hear instruction
Trust God, and obey.
