As I rise, strength of God

Go before, lift me up

As I wake, eyes of God

Look upon, be my sight


As I wait, heart of God

Satisfy and sustain

As I hear, voice of God

Lead me on, and be my guide

And be my guide


Above and below me

Before and behind me

In every eye that sees me

Christ be all around me

Above and below me

Before and behind me

In every eye that sees me

Christ be all around me

Whoa Whoa Christ be all around me


As I go, hand of God

My defense, by my side

As I rest, breath of God

Fall upon, bring me peace

Bring me peace


Your life, Your death

Your blood was shed

For every moment

Every moment
