Abide
by Aaron Williams (The Worship Initiative)
Theology & Meaning
A tender worship song expressing deep longing to remain in God's presence. Draws from the imagery of the vine and branches. Rooted in the theology of sanctification and continual communion with God.
Worship Leadership Tips
Works beautifully in moments of reflection, such as after a sermon or during extended prayer. Encourage the congregation to sing this as a personal prayer.
Arrangement Tips
Aim for a contemplative arrangement with finger-picked guitar or soft keys. Leave space between lines for reflection. End gently rather than with a big finish.
