[Verse 1]
The cross ever before me, the things of earth dissolve
Oh Lord, oh Lord abide in me
With every passing hour, Your presence all I need
Oh Lord, oh Lord abide in me
[Chorus]
Oh my strongest desire
My passion, my fire
Holy Spirit alive in me
Oh this soul that You made
Sings forever Your praise
Holy Spirit abide in me
[Verse 2]
Even when my faith is weary and darker clouds roll in
Oh Lord, oh Lord abide in me
In the face of fears, be closer and my Father's voice be near
Oh Lord, oh Lord abide in me
[Chorus]
Oh my strongest desire
My passion, my fire
Holy Spirit alive in me
Oh this soul that You made
Sings forever Your praise
Holy Spirit abide in me
[Bridge]
I will stay surrendered in Your presence
Steadfast in Your love
With my heart abandoned, one with heaven
Abide in me, oh Lord
I will stay surrendered in Your presence
Steadfast in Your love
With my heart abandoned, one with heaven
Abide in me, oh Lord
[Chorus]
Oh my strongest desire
My passion, my fire
Holy Spirit alive in me
Oh this soul that You made
Sings forever Your praise
Holy Spirit abide in me, oh-ohh
