Sacred Vine

You first destroy the sinful fruit
     Grown by our wicked tree
And then You kill the rotten roots
     To set Your new roots free.

Now free, they’re joined to living Vine
     Cast down from heaven high
To nourish us with Blood as wine
     As You to us draw nigh.

We drink Your life from Vine entwined,
     Grown from Your Sacred Heart.
You’ve always said to us “You’re mine”
     And claimed us from the start.

We know forever we will be
     With You and those we love,
For Truth is You we clearly see
      When we’re born from above.
