FULFILLMENT
Apple blossoms bursting wide
now beautify the tree
And make a springtime picture
that is beautiful to see...
Oh, fragrant lovely blossoms,
you'll make a bright bouquet
If I brake your branches
from the apple tree today...
But if I brake your branches
and make your beauty mine,
You'll bear no fruit in season
when severed from the vine...
And when we cut ourselves away
from guidance that's devine,
Our lives will be fruitless
as the branch without the vine...
For as the flowering branches
depend upon the tree
To nourish and fulfill them
till they reach futurity,
We too must be dependent
on our FATHER up above,
For we are but the branches
and HE'S the tree of LOVE.
