Show Yourselves To Be

Sweet are the branches
Growing the fruit that comes from the vine
But these are just branches
Blown by the wind and holding on to life
And 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 will 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
For 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 will know that you are Mine
Like the branches on the vine
If you show yourselves to be..."
Planted in the fertile soil of quiet times
Watered by the rains of trouble
Growing towards the sun that shines
"They will know that you are Mine
Like the branches on the vine
If you show yourselves to be following Me
So show yourselves to be following Me."
