Lord, you are the vine,
Each of us is a branch:
Places where we've a wound,
There the blood will be stanched.
Lord, to you draw us close
Throughout each day's length:
In times of temptation,
Lord, give us needed strength.
Lord, Wisdom to us give:
Show us how we're to love,
Help us to be gentle,
Moreso than is a dove.
Be our needed strength, Lord,
Your blessings on us you've poured.
