Christ In Me!

     As I enter the new year of 2016, I do not know the way I may be going or what my future holds, but I do know my Guide.  He is the One who has promised to never leave me or forsake me.  He is the Vine that trims my branches so I may grow in spiritual maturity.  I am so thankful I have Christ in my life, and just pray that He will be tender with me, yet prune me as He sees fit.

CHRIST IN ME!

Christ in me-
A pillar of cloud by day,
  directing to show the way;
A pillar of  fire by night,
  guiding toward what is right.
Christ in me-
A Gardener pruning the vine,
  tending the branches to align;
The true Vine, absolute,
  living, breathing, producing fruit.
Christ in me-
Joined as one,
  a Savior, God's own Son;
A pillar of cloud by day,
  beneath my wings, a vibrant ray;
A pillar of fire by night,
  the Holy Spirit whispering quite.
Christ in me-
  talking, walking, guiding true;
The One I look to.
Oh, halleluiah!  Christ in me!
