Abiding ft. Doug Metzger, Emily Poma & TJ Lyrics

To to enter into a place of abiding is

Abiding is

Really being able to discern His voice

And know how to act upon

What He speaks to your heart

As we go on in this passage

Verse five says

I am the vine and you are the branches

He that abides in me and I in him

The same brings forth fruit

For without me you can do nothing

That one statement right there

Is so profound

In changing and transforming

Your Christian walk

And your experience with God

I need to abide

Remove the plank in my eye

So I can see the light

Reveal what's hidden inside

I'll try to be still

Align me with your will

Use me as you will

Father if you will

Cause I'm not mine

And when I'm provoked

It's when you show me

Something's hidden inside

When I don't feel peace

Is when you show me

That you show up on time

It's been hard to sleep

So I'm writing this song

At fifty four past nine

This meeting truly is divine

No it's not easy

But I I'm down for the climb

A couple of calls that I gotta decline

A couple of thoughts

You gotta pull from my mind

I know I gotta listen to my wife

Lord I'm not perfect

But I promise I'll try

A mirror reflects

What a mask can't hide

What your hand created

Let no man divide

Sometimes we suffer

To get in our stride

Sometimes I'm worrying

If you'll provide

Sometimes it's that

I'm not taking the time

To build the relationship

Between you and I

I gotta be honest

I don't know why I worry

If you are beyond it

Gave me a test

And it feels like I bombed it

Scattered the pieces

But you're where the balm is

Heart on my sleeve

And I feel like a Psalmist

Reading your Word

And you fulfill what you promised

Freed up a captive

Bound to bondage

Your Kingdom is near

It's upon us

Our Father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

I promise that

I

Need to abide

Remove the plank in my eye

So I can see the light

Reveal what's hidden inside

I'll try to be still

Align me with your will

Use me as you will

Father if you will

I gotta forgive

The old me's gotta die

If I'm really trying to live

I gotta get rid of my pride

Your yoke and your burden is light

Bear fruit only when I abide

Your light it is living inside

Pin it to the cross

All died for one so one died for all

The things that I saw

I thought they were dead

But they're still in my thoughts

It's got me appalled

I try to do right but I'm feeling like Paul

Thorn in my flesh

I reckon it dead as I pin to the cross

All is forgiven you use what is lost

From away off

You reveal all my thoughts

Seek and you find

So I saw and I sought

When you shed your blood

It's my life that you bought

So I intercede

No weapon shall prosper

And greater is He

Do not be deceived

Gotta lay down your Adam

To raise up your Eve

Forgiveness is critical

In having that conversation

That intimacy

Abiding with God

And understanding

How to actually do it

What's critical in doing it

Is being able to see

The log in your eye

But when you do it

The Spirit of God now is released to go

Comfort those people

Lead them in truth

Convict them of sin

Convict them of sin

Use me how you made me to be used
