[Verse 1] You are the Vine, I am the branch Apart from You, I have no life I cannot bear what I was made for Unless Your life is flowing through mine So when the Father lifts the blade And cuts away what cannot stay Teach me not to fear His pruning hand He's making room for fruit to remain [Pre-Chorus] Cut away the pride in me Every work of flesh I feed Till there's less and less of me And more of You for all to see [Chorus] Let me abide, abide in the Vine Your life in me and my life in You Let me bear fruit, let me bear much fruit That shows the world Your Spirit is true Love and joy, Your perfect peace Patience, kindness growing in me Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness And the strength to rule myself Father, prune me till my life Bears the fruit of Christ [Verse 2] The flesh still pulls against the Spirit Calling me back to what I knew Envy, anger, selfish desire All the things that cannot come from You But those who belong to Christ have crucified The flesh with its passions and desires So teach my feet to walk by Your Spirit And keep my heart abiding in the Vine [Pre-Chorus] Cut away the pride in me Every work of flesh I feed Till there's less and less of me And more of You for all to see [Chorus] Let me abide, abide in the Vine Your life in me and my life in You Let me bear fruit, let me bear much fruit That shows the world Your Spirit is true Love and joy, Your perfect peace Patience, kindness growing in me Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness And the strength to rule myself Father, prune me till my life Bears the fruit of Christ [Bridge] If You cut, let me trust Your hand If You prune, help me understand You're not taking life away You're clearing what stands in the way No branch can boast of fruit it bears The life that made it came from You So whatever good is found in me Let all the glory return to You I will abide I will remain Through fruitful sun Through pruning pain Your words in me Your love my home For without You I can do nothing [Final Chorus] Let me abide, abide in the Vine Your life in me and my life in You Let me bear fruit, let me bear much fruit And prove that I belong to You Love and joy, Your perfect peace Patience, kindness growing in me Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness Self-control where flesh once reigned Father, prune me till my life Bears the fruit that brings You praise [Outro] You are the Vine I am the branch Apart from You I can do nothing So let me remain Let me abide Until all that grows in me Looks like the Vine
