When someone takes the time to give me a prayer, poem, song or personal
reflection, I like to use it immediately or weave it into a future blog. This
week two people have felt moved to give me gifts for my blog. We read my friend’s
piece on mothers that his grandfather wrote in Tuesday’s blog, and today we
will depart from our study of Mary’s messages to read and listen to a song that
my husband asked me to post. He received it at His Lightworks Lectio Divina
study and felt I needed to share it right away. So here it is, and what a
beautiful message it delivers. Read each verse very carefully and allow
yourself to feel God surround you. Then pay particular attention to the last
verse. If you can be this in life, you will hear God say, “Well done my good
and faithful servant”.
God be the Love
God be the love to search and keep me
God be the prayer to move my voice
God be the strength to now uphold me
O Christ, surround me
O Christ, surround me
Bind to myself the name of Holy
Great cloud of witnesses enfold
Prophets, apostles, angels witness
O Christ, surround me
O Christ surround me
Brightness of sun and glow of moonlight
Flashing of lightning, strength of wind
Depth of the sea to soil of planet
O Christ, surround me
O Christ, surround me
Walking behind to hem my journey
Going ahead to light my way
And from beneath, above, and all ways
O Christ, surround me
O Christ, surround me
Christ in the eyes of all who see me
Christ in the ears who hear my voice
Christ in the hearts of all who know me
O Christ, surround me
O Christ, surround me
