893. My Lord... Poem by V F

Like a vine planted in thy garden Lord,

My heart turns towards your loving warmth

You soak me in the rain of your deep love

Richly nourishing every leaf and twig

My roots hold on fast to thy blessed promises

As you nurture me on your living word

In thy grace and presence my Lord

Under thy loving protection do I thrive

My leafy branches give cooling shade

My fruit is sweet and filing

Lord God, for my life,

I give You all glory, honor & praise

Times you prune my branches

Make me sprightly and upright

Thou grafteth me Lord on a healthy trunk

Thy Worship and Praise is the purpose of my life.
