John 15:5

• [Joh 15:5] I Am The Vine

  “I am the Vine; My Father is the Gardener. Each branch that bears no fruit, He cuts away; While every branch that yields good fruit, He trims and cleans, So that it will still more produce each day. Now you are clean because of My Word’s work in you. Remain in Me, and I’ll remain in you. Just as a branch without the vine can bear no fruit, So you must stay in Me if you would bear fruit too. “I am the Vine; if you, like branches, stay in Me And I in you, you’ll bear much fruit in turn. Apart from Me, you can accomplish naught for God; You’re like a branch that withers and is burned. But if you stay in Me and I in you each day, Ask what you wish; it will be given you. God will be glorified because you bear much fruit, For thus you show yourselves to be disciples true. “Just as the Father loves Me, so I love you too. Obey My Word, and you’ll stay in My care, Just as I too obey My Father God above, And in His love remain fore’er and e’er. I’ve told you this so that My joy may be in you, And that your own joy may now overflow. Here’s My command: Love others just as I’ve loved you; To die for friends—this is the greatest love you’ll know. “You are My friends if you do what I now command; You’re not mere servants, knowing not My will. I’ve called you friends, for everything I’ve learned from God, I have made known, and now I tell you still. You chose Me not, but I have chosen each of you, To go and bear much fruit that will remain. Then God will give you all you ask in My own Name. Love one another; hear now My command again.”

• [Joh 15:5] O Will Of God Beneath Our Life

  O Will of God beneath our life, The sea beneath the wave: From Thee we rise in mystic strife, In Thee we find our grave. O Truth of God beneath our faith, The rock on which we rest: Thy Mind is near, Thy Spirit saith Our home is in Thy breast. O Love of God beneath our loves, The fountain to the stream: The river of Thy peace it moves, Its tide our surest dream. O Life of God beneath our death, The sun behind our gloom: Thy Christ proclaims in every breath, The world of fadeless bloom.

John 15:16

• [Joh 15:16] My Lord, I Did Not Choose You

  My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. Unless Your grace had called me And taught my op’ning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart knows none above You; For Your rich grace I thirst; I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first.

• [Joh 15:16] ’tis Not That I Did Choose Thee

  ’Tis not that I did choose Thee, For Lord, that could not be; This heart would still refuse Thee, Hadst Thou not chosen me. Thou from the sin that stained me Hast cleansed and set me free; Of old Thou hast ordained me, That I should live to Thee. ’Twas sov’reign mercy called me And taught my op’ning mind; The world had else enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart owns none before Thee, For Thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, if I love Thee, Thou must have loved me first.
