Grapes

GRAPES


I’m created tender and sweet
Hanging by the vine
Amongst twigs so green
I stay rosy red
My scent thereof, a fragrance to my Beloved,
Hidden, yet by Him I’m known.
The image of my Maker, I reflect,
And there bring forth,
The fragrance of my Beloved, Jesus Christ.
Now, if He may take me to the winepress
I shall lay there with no revolt,
Hard pressed and crushed,
All of me, ooze out,
My fragrance multiplies with every press and crush,
I become the drink my Beloved savors,
Oh, He knows to place me
Be the vineyard or the winepress,
I shall humbly be as He desires.
Anywhere, purpose remains the same;
To serve, worship and love Him only,
Thus, for His glory, I shall be,
At the vineyard or the winepress.
