Abide

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

John 15:4,5 (NASB)

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

John 15:7,8 (NASB)

Abide: also translated "remain;" to be constantly present, to maintain unbroken fellowship

Has also been defined as to stay a long while

There are so many things asking for my time

But I can put on a fresh pot of coffee

If you would stay a long while with me.

There are many things running through my mind

And I'd like to share my concerns with you

If you would stay a long while with me.

There are many burdens I've been carrying

And it'd be nice to lay them at your feet

If you would just stay a long while with me.

Jesus, pull up a chair

I have cream and sugar to share,

And please stay a long while with me.
