abide

abide

by Joel Howard

To abide

By your side

In you confide

To stay

Come your way

Every day

To comply

In you sigh:

"You not I"

To agree

To conform

and comply

To live

To stay 

and here reside

To sojourn here

and lodge here

then reside here, you to fear

To dwell

To hang on to with all I am

and to wait with steadfastness

I adhere

I will stick with you

and always persevere with you, for you

To submit

To knuckle under

To be ok with your words

To contemplate you

then support what you do

and to obey only you, too

To surrender always to you

To your will withstand

To inhabit the land

To populate

To dwell there

with an "it is well" here

deep in here
