May the best day of my life,
be the day before I die.
Lord lead me to that.
Lord this my cry.
From this branch in Your vineyard,
through the vine Your Holy Son.
Groaning through The Spirit
at Your throne most Holy One.

Bloom me where I’m planted.
Let your beauty be in this place.
Or uproot my shallow roots,
move me to suit your grace.
Bend me to Your purpose.
Prune me everyday.
Refresh me in living water.
All this I pray.

Tend me in the vineyard
Tie me firm to the wire
Turn my leaves to Your Son
Let His perfect will be done.
And may Your harvest be heavy,
in what You do with me.
May the fruits of The Spirit,
glisten undeniably.

May the best day of my life,
be the day before I die.
Lord lead me to that.
Lord this my cry.
From this branch in Your vineyard,
through the vine Your Holy Son.
Groaning through The Spirit
at Your throne most Holy One.

For this branch in Your vineyard.
For this branch in Your vineyard.
For this branch in Your vineyard.
For this branch in Your vineyard.
