The lyrics draw on the biblical imagery of Jesus as the vine and believers as branches, emphasizing the need to remain close to Him. The song also references Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and expresses trust in God's strength and guidance through all circumstances, including death.

For my waking breath

For my daily bread

I depend on You

For the sun to rise

For my sleep at night

I depend on You

You?re the Way, the Truth and the Life

You?re the well that never runs dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Where Your Spirit leads

As I?m following

I depend on You

For the victories

Still in front of me

I depend on You

You?re the Way, the Truth and the Life

You?re the well that never runs dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength, my song in the night

Be my all, my treasure, my prize

I am Yours forever You?re mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

When I pass through death

As I enter rest

I depend on You

For eternal life

To be raised with Christ

I depend on You

You?re the Way, the Truth and the Life

You?re the well that never runs dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength, my song in the night

Be my all, my treasure, my prize

I am Yours forever You?re mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide
