Jesus AbidesBy Larry Holder, Elton Smith and Steve IsraelCCLI Number: 3641994This song started with a poem Larry wrote back in 1995. He sent it to me and Steve. I wrote the music and created the midi file (don't get dizzy on the merry-go-round!). All three of us worked on refining the lyrics. Many thanks to Backgrounds by Janette - Our God Reigns for the background image. This is based on a painting by Greg Olson entitled "The Light of the World". - Elton February 10, 2002. ![]() ![]() (Introduction) (Verse 1) High in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! Though I may wander, He'll never depart Jesus abides! How can it be God is living in me, Ever revealing His great mystery? High in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Chorus 1) He abides in me, Jesus is here in my heart. He abides in me, I know He'll never depart. How can it be God is living in me, Ever revealing His great mystery? For high in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Verse 2) There with the Father Yet deep in my soul Jesus abides! And to His Spirit I've yielded control, Jesus abides! Through us revealing His mercy and love, Now we sing praise to our Father above. High in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Chorus 2) He abides in me, Jesus is here in my heart. He abides in me, I know He'll never depart. Through us revealing His mercy and love, Now we sing praise to our Father above, For high in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Verse 3) Till I see heaven He's here in my heart Jesus abides! Then I'll know fully, Not only in part. Jesus abides! Until that day, I am so very sure His grace and mercy shall ever endure. High in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Chorus 3) He abides in me, Jesus is here in my heart. He abides in me, I know He'll never depart. Until that day, I am so very sure His grace and mercy shall ever endure, For high in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides! (Ending) For high in the heavens Yet here in my heart Jesus abides!
