Abide in me
'Abide with me' playing in the background


One:
Let not your heart be troubled
Abide in me

Two:
In the community of the ‘never let go’
abide in me, as I do in you

One:
For there is never any time
or reason
excuse or grounds
for me to let you go.
Abide in me

Two:Neither life or death
of the powers that be
election or referendum
slander or propaganda
can separate me from you
Abide in me

One:
Let me be your source of life
your the nourishment
from the branch
grafted to me
I will never loose you
Abide in me

Two:
And with all the world offers
I offer you
life
ask of me
and I will provide
a love that transforms
a forgiveness than renews
a grace that accepts
a truth that outs
if you abide in me

Two:
for love is greater than all your fears
greater than all your joys
and it abides in me

One:
enough that I will lay down my life
for my friends
and you are my friends
abide in me

Two:
so let me take you to the place
where the mercy-river flows
where hearts are open
as I abide in you
and where love will wait
and yearn
and remember the day
you say
Abide in me
