Abide In Me – A Poem

This place you have in Me as mine

Is yours eternally,

But there must be a walking out,

Daily leaning on Me.

Abiding is believing that

All that I say is true

Resting, trusting, drawing from Me,

Savour My life in you.

Life giving sap draw from My word,

It’s food, it’s drink, it’s all.

Allow My truth to fill your mind,

Teach and direct your will.

Let My Word in your heart abide,

Its truth transform your life,

Turn your affections from the world

To rest alone in Christ.

I live inside you to comfort,

To guide you and to teach:

So abiding in my fullness

My power you’ll receive.

Then the joy, love and peace you find,

As you abide in me

Abundantly will flow out of you

To each and all you see.

In Me is all you need for life,

A life that glory brings

To our Father in heaven above

Your life His praise to sing.

Abiding is to live, remain,

Resting in My pure love;

Until the day I call you home

To live with Me above.

So abiding, dear child of Mine

In me, you’ll have true peace;

A joy unspeakable indeed

Whatever life may bring.”
