Abide in CHRIST
Our soul is restless
Until it abides in YOU, O LORD,
Our heart is empty
Until it is filled with YOUR Divine Love;
Our happiness is incomplete
Until we can commune with YOU, LORD,
O LORD GOD, how can we ever thank you adequately
For all YOU have done for us.
Have we not been lonely
Until we met YOU, O LORD?
Have we not been troubled
Until we found safety and comfort
Under YOUR wings of love?
Have we not heard your gentle re-assurance
‘Do not be afraid, I am with you always
Everything is under MY sovereign charge’
Have we not felt YOUR Divine Presence
In times of need?
Have YOU not refreshed us by leading us to green pastures
And still waters,
And blessed us with healing?
Have YOU not sent your angels before us to rescue us from danger?
Have YOU not been our counselor and guide
Steering our feet away from snares and pitfalls
And steadied us as we journeyed through life?
Abide in CHRIST
Walk closely to HIM
For HE is our Salvation.
We are more than conquerors through HIM
Who loves us and gives HIS life for us
So that one day, we can victoriously
Reach our heavenly destination.
