More about Eliza Porter:
Music Ed BYU 1997-2001. I love writing new settings for hymns so the text can have a deeper emotional connection. I began with "We are Sowing" in 2019 and have continued to "Count your Blessings", "Scatter Sunshine" and others. I learn something new with every song I work on and hope you enjoy them too.

Lyrics: Abide in me, O love of God, Abide!
Thy sweet and present goodness be my guide
To know and name the best in me,
And fill my frame with majesty.
Forsaking all, I come to Thee:
O love of God, abide!
Require of me, O love of God! Require
my heart be changed with Thy consuming fire!
All small and willful wants replace;
Remake my soul with gentle grace;
Confirm my heart Thy holy place!
O love of God, require!
Remain with me, O love of God! Remain
A charity that cannot be contained.
That I may know the heart of God,
Teach me to love as I am loved
And shed His holy light abroad!
O love of God, remain!
