Child will you abide in Me
From all distractions learn to flee
To seek Me with an upturned face
And nurture in the secret place
A heart desiring none but Me
And seeking with a heartfelt plea
To linger in the presence of
The Holy God of grace and love
Can you rest and still your mind
And learn that I am where you’ll find
The help you need to overcome
The peace to rest when all is done
And letting Christ be all your life
You’ll be unmoved by fear and strife
For in Him there is perfect rest
And strength to endure every test
When Christ becomes your all in all
There is no fear that you will fall
For He upholds those who are His
Whose lives are yielded all to Him
And He is able in that day
To keep your feet firm in His way
Though there is much you need to learn
I’d rather that you truly yearn
To submit your life and to become
Surrounded by the Mighty One
Who alone will meet each need
When you yield to abide indeed
