Ray Low - The Son's Prayer (Abide in Me) Original

Went to Central Park to film a very special song! I wrote this to encourage some friends, and its first performance was met with so much positive feedback that I simply had to record it. The song is based off of Jesus' prayer from John 14-17. It is unique in that Jesus prayed it for us, but we can also pray it for each other. It can also be used as a worship song. Hope you all enjoy! Please share with anyone you want to encourage!

Written, produced, performed by: Ray Low

Lyrics:
When the darkness comes and evil wins
Send Your Spirit down to speak again
Would You sanctify them by the truth
Would You make them all as one in You

To be in a world they can't be of
To be salt and light through truth and love
May they make You known through Jesus Christ
And be not afraid to stand and fight

"Abide in Me, abide in Me."
Said the Son, the Vine,
"Abide in Me."

Through Your power, may they give lonely rest
Through Your mercy free the poor, oppressed
For Your justice, may they advocate
For Your righteousness, may they obey

When the thief arrives to kill, destroy
Would their grief be turned to hope and joy
When the earth gives birth to death and pain
Would they know the world You overcame
