Abiding


Abiding faith in the Lord
Blessed joy to me restored
Christ's love is beyond our grasp
Dwelling free from sin's death clasp
Everlasting life is found
Fullness of joy, peace abound
Giving thanks for all blessings
Hope of heaven, heart now sings
Immortal, I'm now God's child
Justified and reconciled
King of Kings is my Father
Led by Christ, my life's Author
Mediating for my sins
Nourished by His Word, grace wins
Overcoming flesh, I grow
Perennial mercies flow
Quietness reigns in my soul
Redeemed by His blood, made whole
Steadfast promises to hold
Trusting God as my Stronghold
Unchanging, He is with me
Vessel in His hand to be
Wonder-working God, I serve
Xenial charity verve
Yearn to live for His glory
Zealous disciple's story
