JESUS THE VINE

Under the canopy of azure sky
With sailing white ribboned clouds,
An old vine stood tall,
Having been bruised before ages.

Jesus is the vine
Who gave His life for me.
He calls me to abide in Him
And in His grace continually.

The Lord’s abiding grace
Is His perfect gift for me,
For by grace I have been saved
Through faith in Him.

The Lord’s abiding grace
is the best for me,
For I am what I am
Only by the grace of God.

The Lord’s abiding grace
Is sufficient for me,
For His strength is made perfect
In my weakness.

The Lord’s abiding grace
Made me right in His sight,
For He has given me the confidence
Of eternal life in Him.

The Lord’s abiding grace
Is able to build me up
And to give me the inheritance
Among all who are sanctified.
