Shane & Shane's 'Abide' is a worship song about complete dependence on God for every aspect of life, from daily needs to eternal hope. The lyrics echo Jesus' metaphor of the vine and branches from John 15, asking to be drawn close and taught to abide in Christ. The song expresses trust in God as the way, truth, and life, and looks forward to resurrection and eternal rest. It is a prayerful declaration of reliance on God's strength, provision, and presence through all seasons.

For my waking breath, for my daily bread
I depend on You, I depend on You
For the sun to rise, for my sleep at night
I depend on You, I depend on You
You're the way, the truth and the life
You're the well that never runs dry
I'm the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
Where the Spirit leads as I'm following
I depend on You, yes I depend on You
For the victories still in front of me
I depend on You, yes I depend on You
You're the way, the truth and the life
You're the well that never runs dry
I'm the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
Be my strength, my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure, my prize
I am Yours forever You're mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
When I pass through death as I enter rest
I depend on You, I depend on You
For eternal life to be raised with Christ
I depend on You, I depend on You
You're the way, the truth and the life
You're the well that never runs dry
I'm the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
Be my strength, my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure, my prize
I am Yours forever You're mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
I depend on You, I depend on You
