I will enter Your gates filled with thanksgiving
And here in Your courts I offer You praise
I am drawn by Your love into Your presence
Longing to worship You face to face
I will abide
I will stay with You
Abide
I’ll remain with You
In the shadow of Your wings
My spirit will hide
I will abide
Here where I belong
Abide
Where my heart grows strong
In Your wonderful presence
Lord I will abide
I will abide
