Abiding Love Words and Music by Peter Merz I remember those boats on the Rhine Tasting the best of Paris wine And how strong I was back in my prime Those sweet Halcyon Days Convinced it was love at its best Replete with ooohs and ahhhs Awestruck before the Mona Lisa Touring the Louvre Museum Pizza outside leaning Pisa Amazed in so many ways Convinced it was love at its best But oh Lord how wrong I was because CHORUS Abiding Love takes me farther And takes me higher so in Christ I trust Abiding Love it never fails Other loves they simply pale Abiding love takes me farther Other loves will never come close Abiding Love takes me farther Takes me higher so in Christ I trust I’ve stood beneath the London Eye Camped before Stonehenge overnight Raised a glass to the stars that fell from the sky Glimpsed at a Golden Age Convinced it was love at its best Replete with ooohs and ahhhs I laughed with the Laughing Cavalier Been whisked away with Windemere Started waves for Lady Guinevere At the height of pomp-rave Convinced it was love at its best But Lord I missed the mark because REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE There’s power in this truth The abiding love of Christ It fills us to overflowing And makes life more alive A life with God's more abundant His love and truth sets us free It won't stop until every last drop Rains down on you and me REPEAT CHORUS ©2017 Scribe And Sage Music (BMI).
