Sweet are the branches--growing the fruit that comes from the vine.
But these are just branches--blown by the wind holding on to life.
I want to be like them--holding to the One whose Life is mine.
And I know as I follow Him--His Life will surely show in me.

He said you will show yourselves to be
The ones who follow Me
By the evidence you leave along the way.
They'll know that you are Mine
Like the branches on the vine
If you show yourselves to be--following Me.

Faith joins our hearts to Him--it's not a result of anything we do.
But if we are part of Him--there will be reasons to believe it's true.
The fruit cannot help but grow--if the branch is joined into the tree
And love cannot help but show--in the one who goes where Jesus leads.

He said you will show yourselves to be
The ones who follow Me
By the evidence you leave along the way.
They'll know that you are Mine
Like the branches on the vine
If you show yourselves to be--following Me.

Planted in the fertile soil of quiet times.
Watered by the rains of trouble, growing toward the sun that shines.

They'll know that you are Mine
Like the branches on the vine
If you show yourselves to be--following Me.

There is an appointed time for everything.
And there is a time for every event under heaven—
A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
