Abide

This song has been on my heart a lot lately. We are starting a new season in our family. We are getting ready to move into our new house! It has been a very stressful time but, it has been a very growing experience. I have felt God's presence and my need of Him in this whole process. I have learned to really trust Him and that worrying about anything is useless. God will take care of us and He will do what is best for us in His own time. He is faithful. This song is about abiding in Him. For the first time in a long time, I feel that I have finally been doing just that and I pray that I keep that as my focus.

Music and Lyrics by Tyler Somers (BMI) and Jennifer Somers (BMI)

You strive, o man, and you strive again, your heart too proud to rest
You labor on, singing those songs, to cover your weakness
Do you fail to recall who you really are and Who caused you to be?
Return o man; return and rest, to a burden light and yoke easy

Abide in your Savior
Abide in His love
The labor of God is to trust in the Son

All you possess...do you forget, as if by your own strength
you earned it? No. He gave you all, everything you have.
Your righteousness, your life, your breath, your daily bread and wine,
His blood, His flesh, His love, His death, Your faith and endless life

Abide in your Savior
Abide in His love
The labor of God is to trust in the Son

Open up your doors
O my heart and soul
Open up your doors
Let the King come in
Let the King come in

Abide in me Savior
Abide in me Love
And daily I'll take my cross, follow after you Lord
Abide in me Savior
Abide in me Love
The labor of God is to trust
