Of the Vine

As we kneel, come to your table
may we be mindful to be of the vine
in the world but not of the world
part of your family, Lord, with you
in the great calling, the work
living in the vine, following the master
eating the bread, drinking the wine
in remembrance of him, of the sacrifice
the love of our creator, of our savior
knowing our nature, giving his all
being a servant, a sacrifice
So we should, live our lives
living in the vine, part of the work
taking up our cross, in our time
taking on the yoke, conforming our hearts
joining our savior, to be Christ to someone
this day, living in the vine
