Abide

In your presence I abide,
It’s there I find my rest
No worries of tomorrow
No tears, no sorrow…
For in your presence there is joy
There’s peace
There all my troubles cease
The bread of life
Taking all my grief
Under your wing, I abide.
In the world there are trials
In the world life is hard.
Come out from among them,
Your heart I will guard.
Abiding in my presence is where you’ll find your rest.
Like the little sparrow, in me build your nest.
In your presence I abide,
It’s there I find my rest
No worries of tomorrow
No tears, no sorrow…
For in your presence there is joy
There’s peace
And all my troubles cease.
The bread of life
Taking all my grief
Under your wing, I abide.

 

Through stormy seas, or peaceful meadow
My heart is satisfied…
I dwell within your presence Lord; resolved, I will abide!

John 15:7 New King James Version – If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
