Remain in Me, I Am the Vine

Remain in me, I am the vine.
Remain in me; you shall have life.
You are the branches: bear fruit for all to see.
I am the vine, remain in me.
No branch can live without the tree,
nor grow or serve apart from me.
This I have told you that you may see
my love in you, your joy complete.
No longer slaves, I call you friends.
I shall be with you to the end.
Keep my commandments; I dwell in you.
So, now bear witness to the truth.
As I have done so you should do,
so as to love as I love you.
For in your witness, my love is shown;
in simple ways, my heart made known.
As I died, so too shall you die.
As I rose, so too shall you rise.
Do not be troubled: your eyes have seen.
You trust in God, have trust in me.
5. I am the way, the truth, the life.
I am your living sacrifice.
I offer freely my life for you.
Go now and do as I would do.
