We will abide in You Lord
Hide in You Lord
Rest in You Lord

Teach us to wait on You
Draw strength from You Lord
Rest in You Lord
Rest in You (Lord)

Meaning & Inspiration
I believe this is true—but if I’m honest, part of me still hesitates when I try to live it out.
The song keeps talking about hiding in God like it’s a physical room with a heavy door. I think about that guy who climbed a tree to see someone famous pass by, just squeezing himself between the branches to stay out of sight. It’s weird to imagine shrinking down small enough to fit inside a person. Most people just hum the melody and don't care about the logistics of the metaphor. I’m stuck on the actual shape of being inside something that isn’t a box. How do you breathe when the walls are made of someone else’s spirit? It feels like trying to sleep in a closet that moves when you move.
It’s hard to stay hidden when my own pride keeps trying to push the door open.
