Abide by Carrie Newcomer and Parker J. Palmer chords
Start Jamming...
I will bring a cup of water, [G] here's the best that I can offer.
In the dusk of coming night, there is evidence of light.
[C] With the pattering [G] of a rain, let us fall as if in grace.
[C] Consider all the [G] ways we heal and [A] how a heart [Bm] can break.
[D] [C] Oh, abide [G] with me, where it's breathless and it's empty.
[C] Yes, abide [G] with me, and we'll pass the evening gently.
Stay [C]
away [G] with me, and we'll listen more intently
to something wordless [Em] and remaining.
Sure and [G] ever-changing [A] in the [C] quietness of [D] now.
Let [G] us ponder the unknown, what is hidden and what's whole.
[Em] And find and learn to travel [Bm] at the speed of our own souls.
[C] There is a [G] living water, [D] a spirit cutting [Em] through.
Always [C]
[G] changing, always making [Am]
all [Bm] things [D] new.
[C] Oh, abide [G] with me, where it's breathless and [Em] it's empty.
[C] Yes, abide [G] with me, and we'll pass the evening gently.
Stay [C]
away [G] with me, and we'll listen more [Em] intently
to [G] something wordless [Em] and remaining.
Sure and ever [G]-changing [A] in the [C] quietness of now.

There [G] are things I cannot prove, [D] and still [G] somehow I know.
It's [Em] like a message in a bottle that [Bm] some unseen hand has thrown.
You [C] don't have to be [G]
afraid, you [D] don't have to walk [Em] alone.
I [C] don't know, but I [G] suspect that it [Am] will feel [Bm]
like [D] home.
Oh, [C] abide [G] with me, where it's breathless and [Em] it's empty.
Yes, [C] abide [G] with me, and we'll pass the evening gently.
