Abide
Fracture on my hollow heart
Fill with faith, let lies depart
Lord, please wash the sin inside
A flood only You can part
Heart ache fracture fills with light
My sins are hidden from sight
Your mercy gives pause to doubt
Don’t know what to think is right
Spirit please be my teacher
My inner good news preacher
Shake me like a static beast
Let me know I’m your creature
Abide with me, abide in me
Pure refreshing from above
I long each day for Your love
You count my tears every night
And at morning send a dove
Heaven I can’t imagine
Too wonderful to fathom
A ruler who co-labors?
In Him I’m not abandoned
Search my life for things taken
Turned upside down I’m shaken
The last piece of darkness falls
I know I’m not forsaken
Rewire all that remains
Never forget Jesus’s stains
Thank you for making me whole
Rejoice in the One who reigns!
Abide with me, abide in me
Jesus reign in me!
