Held Within the Vine
O’er canopied in green and shade
I rest within the vine
Safe beneath long trailing arms
Veiled in peace divine
I see how others closer yet
Are held in tendril twine
I long for such supporting love
This knowing hold be mine
If God He is the gardener
And Jesus Christ the Vine
We are all the branches
There Human and Divine
Together work in harmony
Experiences combine
To grow the fruit and stronger see
The Spirit’s Truth sublime
Then, held in Love and Company
Lost are found by God’s design

Beautiful, Denise.
Yes, it is so important for His church to hold each other “in Love and company”. As we were taught yesterday by Matt Jacoby, when we gather together and pray and meet TOGETHER, then we experience great encounters with God and His Holy Spirit.
There is peace within the vine…
