Be My Shield

Christ, be on my right, be on my left
Christ, be in my blood, be in my breath
Go before and come behind
Fill my ears, flood my eyes
Christ, be on my left, be on my right

Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day

God, be in my words, be in my deeds
God, in my advance, in my retreat
Shield me in the midst of war
Spirit, come and be my sword
God, be in my deeds, be in my my words

Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day

Spirit, be my strength and be my song
Spirit, guide my steps and lead me on
Until my days have reached their length
And You and I are face to face
Spirit, be my song, be my strength

Holy Lord, flood my heart
And make Your presence known
Holy Lord, be my shield this day
