Melanie Hart: Music & Lyrics

From Melanie Hart's book, A New Thing: The Stories Behind the Music... "I am a divorced woman. The shame of this is something I thought I’d carry with me my whole life. In fact, there was a time I thought I might never sing again, certainly not in any capacity of ministry or leadership. Praise God that wasn’t His plan!"

Psalm 49:15, “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me.”

John 15:4 & 8 “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me… By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”


Abide

I am a woman who has fallen from grace
But Your hand has surely saved me from the grave.

I said I, I am a woman who has fallen from grace
But Your hand has surely saved me from the grave.

And I know that I am one choice
Away from the flesh that I’ve fled from
So I hold on tighter and I resurrect the fighter
That’s Your strength in me.

And I abide, Oh Lord, I abide
I abide, Oh Lord, I abide.

Because I am a woman who has so much left to give
‘cause Your hand has surely saved me from the grave
I said I am a woman who has so much left to give
‘cause Your hand has surely saved me from the grave.

And I abide, Oh Lord, I abide
And You’ll abide, Oh Lord,
Don’t ever let me go! You’re my only hope
Just abide in me!

Abide… Just abide in me… Sweet Jesus… Just abide in me.
