Make Your abode within my deepest part!
Lord, may Your Spirit make His home in me,
Thus all my being Your abode will be.

A mutual dwelling place for You and me!

We have become by grace one loving pair.

By faith I have been joined to You, dear Lord,
Now our two spirits are in one accord!

In thought, intention, and in all I do.

"Abide in Me and I'll abide in you,"
Both a commandment and a promise true!
We may much fruit unto the Father bear
As we abide in Him whose life we share.
