Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Matt Maher has released Abide With Me as his new single. Lovely and appropriate for this Holy Week season, few Christian singers have captured the reverence of the modern hymn as Maher, who sounds as confident as ever on this powerful worship anthem, which he co-wrote with Matt Redman, David Crowder, and Jason Ingram (what a song pedigree!).
Abide With Me will be a lovely choice for churches looking to add a worshipful track with a personal touch to their offering songs.
ABIDE WITH ME Lyrics<.strong>
Matt Maher
I have a home, eternal home
But for now I walk this broken world
You walked it first, You know our pain
But You show hope can rise again up from the grave
Abide with me, abide with me
Don’t let me fall, and don’t let go
Walk with me and never leave
Ever close, God abide with me
There in the night, Gethsemane
Before the cross, before the nails
Overwhelmed, alone You prayed
You met us in our suffering and bore our shame
Abide with me, abide with me
Don’t let me fall, and don’t let go
Walk with me and never leave
Ever close, God abide with me
Oh love that will not ever let me go
Love that will not ever let me go
You never let me go
Love that will not ever let me go
Oh You never let us go
And up ahead, eternity
We’ll weep no more, we’ll sing for joy, abide with me
Abide with me, abide with me
Don’t let me fall, and don’t let go
Walk with me and never leave
Ever close, God abide with me
