Tarry with me for a while

So last night we had the TV off and the iPod on (those are my favorite times, cause then we are hanging with each other and enjoying each other instead of focusing on the TV) — and while my husband and I were making dinner together the song Narrow Way by Audra Lynn comes on and the lyrics say

There is a way – a gate that is narrow
There is a road – very few have gone
There is a path – the way I have taken
Here is the call – come away with me

Take up your cross – and follow
Lay down your burdens – and tarry with me for a while

My husband asked what tarry is and I thought I knew so I spewed out an answer, but today thought I should double check and althought I was close, I was not quite right. I found that tarry is defined by Webster as this: to abide or stay in one place

AWESOME! I love the song even more than what I did ten minutes ago. I will be faithful! I will tarry with you, Jesus. I will take up my cross. Kristen Hickey has some awesome posts on abiding if you’re looking for more. I can’t come close to her level of teaching, so I will just give you the links.
