I heard a new version on a Hillsongs recording, and it
reminded me how great this hymn was. It spurred me on to write my
own version. It is ethereal pop wrapped in some nice floating
string lines and volume control guitar work.
Abide with me
The night is falling now
The darkness deep
Surrounds me like a cloud
When other helpers fail
And all my comforts flee
I am helpless, Abide with me
My time on earth
Is like a fleeting day
The joy grows dim
Its glory fades away
I look around, all I see
Is changing and decays
God unchanging, abide with me
I need you Lord
Beside me every hour
Your grace alone
Can break the temptations power
You are my strength, my guide
And my security
God my helper, abide with me
When time has come
To finally close my eyes
I see Your Cross
To point me to the sky
When Heavens morning breaks
And earths vain shadows flee
God eternal abide with me |
