“Abide with Me” | SONG of the week

Album: Saints and Sinners
Artist: Matt Maher
Year: 2015

I have a home, eternal home,
But for now I walk this broken world.
You walked it first; You know our pain.
But You show hope can rise again up from the grave.

Abide with me, abide with me.
Don’t let me fall, and don’t let go.
Walk with me and never leave,
Ever close, God abide with me.

There in the night, Gethsemane,
Before the cross, before the nails,
Overwhelmed, alone You prayed.
You met us in our suffering and bore our shame.

Abide with me, abide with me.
Don’t let me fall, and don’t let go.
Walk with me and never leave,
Ever close, God abide with me.

O love that will not ever let me go,
Love that will not ever let me go!
You never let me go.
Love that will not ever let me go—
O You never let us go!

And up ahead, eternity,
We’ll weep no more, we’ll sing for joy, abide with me . . .

"Nevertheless, I am continually with you;

you hold my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel,

and afterward you will receive me to glory."

Psalm 73:23-24 ESV
