Don't be afraid
Of a little pruning

Just keep your faith
In the One true Vine (John 15)

Stop! Be still
Know God is for you

Jesus is the one
Who fights your battles (John 10)

Cast your troubles aside
To the one who cares for you (1 Peter 5:7) 
You will rise again
With the God who died
For you (John 3:16)


Watch for the yeast
The yeast of Herod 

He's selling you
Money sex power

Flee from the idols
Of this world

Don't fall for snares
Of an unequal yoke

Put your worries on hold
Seek the truth that will mold
All your future hopes
Bringing out the
Fruit that's in you


Run from the yeast
The yeast of Pharisees

Their legal leaven
Can trap your soul

Reach out to Jesus
Our risen saviour

He will hold you
Till the end of time

Cast your troubles aside
To the one who cares for you
You will rise again
With the God who died
For you

Put your worries on hold
Seek the truth that will mold
All your future hopes
Bringing out the
Fruit that's in you

  1. A couple of things resonate; one, the willingness to accept being pruned, knowing that what earthly event may have changed us, our Lord is behind it to strengthen his children and draw them closer to Him.

    Second, dealing with the worries and pitfalls that may come with pruning or other events, your words reminded me of a Christian song I found recently that I hope puts a exclamation point on what you have composed.
