I want to abide in your love But Lord, I strive, I push and I shove This bow on my heartstrings, that's got no hair It's shriekin', it's crackin' through cold air You say you cut me and graft me in "You don't have to try, see, just try bein' Bein' who I made you, a man that's free Cause the man I made you is free indeed" So I'll abide In your love I just had to die Cause you made a covenant And I'm of your kin I've been born again So I'll lift up my chin Cause you killed my sin Yeah it's got three nails Each hand and both feet And it's stayin' there unless I come to greet So help me abide I'll stay for to go Out through the countryside, the byways, you know To bring you good fruit To walk in your stride To follow in suit And be by your side Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Lord, help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Lord, help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide Help me abide
