I am a¤bid¤ing in Je¤sus;
His words a¤bid¤ing in ¤me
Give me ac¤cess to His King¤dom,
Keep me un¤fet¤tered and ¤free.

Chorus:
Je¤sus Him¤self is my por¤tion,
Nour¤ished and fed from a¤¤bove,
Dwell¤ing in God and in Je¤sus,
Root¤ed and ground¤ed in ¤love.

Light in my soul is now shin¤ing,
Je¤sus a¤bid¤ing with¤¤in;
He is my pro¤pi¤ti¤a¤tion,
Cleans¤ing my soul from all ¤sin.

Bear¤ing my yoke I am learn¤ing
Low¤li¤ness, meek¤ness of ¤heart,
Love in my soul is a¤bound¤ing,
Bind¤ing us nev¤er to ¤part.

God’s Ho¤ly Spir¤it my wis¤dom,
Oh, how I love His pure ¤Word,
Dwell¤ing with¤in me and teach¤ing
Ho¤li¤ness un¤to the ¤Lord.
