O Lord, Abide In Me

As one travels through life believing having faith in God for all He's worth troubles come and go with ups and downs but God remains faithful and keeps you first Since the day I first believed in Jesus God has always assured me He will abide next to me wherever I am Jesus is there no matter my feelings in Christ I can confide Despite my battles with my stammer God's assured me of His love so deep for He accepts me just as I am whatever mountains come, Christ will keep In life and death, the Lord abides His light shines through the gloom bright Jesus holds His cross before my eyes such joy and glory, a beautiful sight This hymn written by H.F. Lyte is so inspiring it held me up when I thought I was beat with the Lord, I always have the majority O Lord abide in me to keep me on my feet (This piece is based on the hymn 'Abide With Me' by Henry F. Lyte (1793-1847), a Scottish Anglican hymnist and poet. Especially the final verse of the hymn. "Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heav’n’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.").
