Though Christ a thousand times
In Bethlehem be born
IF He's not BORN IN Thee
Thy soul is still forlorn
The Cross on Golgotha
Will never save thy soul
The Cross IN thine own Heart
Alone can make thee Whole
Chorus
Oh Cross Of CHrist I take thee into this heart of mine
That I to my own self may die
And RISE to thy life Divine
What ever thou Lovest man
That too become thou must
God, if thou lovest God
Dust , if thou lovest dust
Go out.. God WILL come in
Die thou and LET HIM LIVE
Be not and He WILL BE
Wait and He'll all things give
To bring thee to thy God
Love takes the SHORTEST Route
The way which KNOWLEDGE takes
IS but a roundabout
Drive out from thee the world
And then thy heart shall be
FILLED with the LOVE OF GOD
And Holy like as He
Hallelujah!!!

Love.
It reminds me of His love for us, and our love for Him.
Being totally devoted to each other.
Two becoming one.
God's love flows through the branches (us) to produce fruit. We do not produce it, we support it. If we detach from the vine, we wither and die, as does the fruit. We need to stay attached there with it and allow the flow through us. We are consecrated and made holy only in this condition, even if we are only grafted in. We grow stronger the longer we are there. When we allow things about our self and the world to distract us, we decrease the flow, and the amount we grow. We should always try to "abide in Him".

Why is your question in modern English, but the song/poem is in ancient English?
Harmonize!
