YOU ABIDE
I once believed, it was up to me,
to make it on my own.
Through endless days, I went my way,
and thought I was walking all alone.
Lord, now I see,
That You were always by my side.
Through the joy and pain,
Through the seasons of my life.
If I cry, You weep,
When I walk, You lead,
If I stumble, You ease my fall,
When I sing, You are my Song.
Every victory, every crushing defeat,
Through it all, Lord you abide with me.
I know Your Love, will lift me up,
When I'm too weak to stand.
I see Your face, I feel Your grace,
As we walk together, hand in hand.
Your presence glows,
Like the early morning dawn,
And it gives my soul,
Lasting strength to carry on.
