Lyrics
Christ, be on my right, be on my left
Request for Christ's presence on both sides for protection and guidance
Christ, be in my blood, be in my breath
Invocation of Christ's presence in blood and breath, seeking spiritual connection
Go before and come behind
Desire for Christ to lead ahead and follow behind in life's journey
Fill my ears, flood my eyes
Request for sensory inundation by Christ, symbolizing a deep spiritual experience
Christ, be on my left, be on my right
Reiteration of the request for Christ's presence on both sides
Holy Lord, flood my heart and make Your presence known
Invoking the Holy Lord, asking for a profound experience of divine presence in the heart
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Seeking the Holy Lord as a shield for protection throughout the day
God, be in my words, be in my deeds
Invocation of God's presence in words and deeds for guidance
God, in my advance, in my retreat
Request for God's presence in all actions, both advancing and retreating
Shield me in the midst of war
Plea for God to shield during times of conflict or struggle
Spirit, come and be my sword
Invitation for the Spirit to be a guiding force and a metaphorical sword in challenges
God, be in my deeds, be in my my words
Emphasizing the importance of God's presence in both words and deeds
Holy Lord, flood my heart and make Your presence known
Repeat of the desire for a deep, heart-flooding experience of the Holy Lord's presence
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Renewed plea for the Holy Lord to be a shield throughout the day
Holy Lord, flood my heart and make Your presence known
Reiteration of the longing for a profound experience of the Holy Lord's presence
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Continued request for the Holy Lord to serve as a shield for protection
Spirit, be my strength and be my song
Calling upon the Spirit to provide strength and serve as a source of inspiration
Spirit, guide my steps and lead me on
Asking the Spirit to guide steps and lead in life's journey
Until my days have reached their length
Expressing a desire for the Spirit's presence until the end of life
And You and I are face to face
Anticipating a face-to-face encounter with the divine at life's completion
Spirit, be my song, be my strength
Reiteration of the request for the Spirit to be a source of strength and inspiration
Holy Lord, flood my heart and make Your presence known
Repeated plea for a profound experience of the Holy Lord's presence in the heart
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Continued request for the Holy Lord to be a shield for protection throughout the day
Holy Lord, flood my heart and make Your presence known
Reiteration of the longing for a deep, heart-flooding experience of the Holy Lord's presence
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
Final plea for the Holy Lord to be a shield for protection
