Abidin' Letra

Chorus: No bribin', no conivin', no strivin' will do They'll never make no change in you You can hold your breath, stand on your head Still the changes won't come, till their Spirit led Abidin', that's when the changes come Abide in Jesus, He's the best at gettin' it done Now, a Christian brother who's name was Ben Had a real bad problem, seemed without end His impatience, at times, got the better of him So he tried many methods like countin' to ten Still, the harder he tried, the harder it got Till his face would go red, and he cuss a lot He'd confess his sin and forgiveness came But then Ben would go out and do it again What the ol' boy needed was delivery And only God's Spirit could set him free Ben began to abide like a branch to the Vine Now deliverance is his every time (Chorus) Now, sister Sue had a problem, too Though not like Ben, she kept her cool But when it came to gossip, man, that gal could rap! She found it hard to say something kind Wound up hurtin' someone every time With a juicy story, she just couldn't shut her trap But Sue found the secret of takin' God's rest And instead of makin' promises and doin' her best She lets the Lord take that tongue control Now, instead of sowin' distrust and discord She's so busy talkin' about the Lord That she ain't got time to talk about so and so (Chorus)
