23 Dec 05 - 03:51 PM (#1634044) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: I Am the True Vine From: Q (Frank Staplin) "I Am the True Vine" comes from the New Testament Gospels, John 15:1, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser": from http://bible.cc/john/15-1.htm "I am the true vine and my Father is the farmer. I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman. I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman. I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman. I am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman. "I am the Vine- the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. With the title "I Am the True Vine," a composition of that name, composed by the Persian Christian composer and poet Bogoroditse Djevo, appears in the Arvo Pärt album (and sheet music), "I Am the True Vine." |
