Abide
The past few weeks have been a season of tiredness and anxiety for me. I don't fully understand the cause, but I've felt buried under work and ministry commitments. My joy has been lacking, and I feel burdened by a sense of duty.
This song by Jenny & Tyler has helped me meditate on Truth.
Abide
You strive, O man, and you strive again/
Your heart too proud to rest/
You labor on singing those songs/
To cover your weakness/
Do you fail to recall who you really are/
And Who caused you to be?/
Return, O man, return and rest/
To a burden light and yoke easy/
Abide in your Savior. Abide in His love/
The labor of God is to trust in the Son/
O you possess, do you forget?/
As if by your own strength/
You earned it? No./
He gave you all, everything you have/
Your righteousness/
Your light, your breath/
Your daily bread and wine/
His blood, His flesh/
His love, His death/
Your faith and endless life/
Abide in your Savior. Abide in His love/
The labor of God is to trust in the Son/
