lyrics

Of the Vine

As the sun kisses dew
Of the ripened fruit
So we wake to meet this day
And fear not what's to come
Living of the vine

As a child fills with joy
Hearing mother's voice
So this life has welcomed us
To nurture and abide
Living of the vine

With the work of the farmer
And the trucker hauling food
With the engineer and builder
Who illuminate the road
With the merchant who markets
What sustains and entertains
We depend on each other every day

As the evening clouds blush
Memories come in rush
Generations of your face
Have marveled at this place
Living of the vine

With the courage of heroes
Who would sacrifice their lives
So the ones persecuted
Can prosper and survive
With the faith, prayers, and blessings
that have traveled over time
We belong to the blossoming vine
