Abide in Me

Inspired by John 15:1-11 and Luke 10:38-42, this duet is a conversation with Jesus. Weighed down by busyness and worry, we grow troubled and anxious, and Jesus calls us to listen at His feet and abide in Him. We answer with a prayer for help and a promise to abide, and the song ends in mutual indwelling: we in Him, and He in us. John 15:4-5 (ESV) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Luke 10:41-42 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” Lyrics [Verses 1 & 2] [Female Vocal] Lord, I'm weary and worn Stretched thin by the list of things Deadlines, dinners, dishes All the weight that each day brings I'm troubled and torn Doubts arise, and fear takes hold Not sure what lies ahead Or how my life will unfold [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal] Let not your heart be troubled And there's one thing that matters most Come close and sit down at My feet I'm with you, says the Lord of Hosts [Chorus] [Male Vocal] Abide in Me, abide in Me Like the branches in the vine Abide in Me, abide in Me Bearing much fruit, by grace divine Abide in Me [Female] Help me abide Abide in Me, abide in Me [Female] Help me abide [Verse 3] [Female Vocal] Lord, teach me to abide Praying daily on my knees My mind's scattered everywhere Help me quiet down with ease [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal] You're anxious, pulled in many ways But there's one thing that matters most Come close and sit down at My feet Be still, for I'm the Lord of Hosts [Chorus] [Male Vocal] Abide in Me, abide in Me Like the branches in the vine Abide in Me, abide in Me Bearing much fruit, by grace divine Abide in Me [Female] I'll abide in You Abide in Me, abide in Me [Female] I'll abide in You [Bridge] [Female Vocal] Lord, hold me fast Learning always at Your feet Your words dwelling in me Till my joy is made complete [Final Chorus] [Female Vocal] Abide in You, abide in You Like the branches in the vine Abide in You, abide in You Bearing much fruit, by grace divine Abide in You, [Male] abide in Me Abide in You, [Male] abide in Me Abide in You, [Male] abide in Me Abide in You, [Male] and I in you I'll abide in You, I'll abide in You [Together] I'll abide in You I'll abide in You "Abide in Me" Songwriter / Lyrics: Soh Jo Chih Music / Instrumentation: Created with Suno AI Many thanks to Bernice Loh for her feedback and suggestions.
