Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ with me when I sleep and when I rise
Christ with me when I work and when I play
Christ surround me with love, grace, and goodness
Christ hold me close
Christ with those who can’t sleep and with those who suffer
Christ with the unemployed and with those who work two jobs
Christ with those who feel unloved, judged harshly, and unworthy
Christ, hold them closer still
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me
Christ in everyone I know
Christ, lead them to loving thoughts
Christ, lead them to peaceful words
Christ, may I remind them of you
Christ in everyone
Christ in those I’ve thoughtlessly injured
Christ in those who speak from their pain
Christ, make peace
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Christ in everyone I encounter
Christ, may I look like you
Christ, may I sound like you
Christ, may I introduce you?
Christ in every human face
Christ, may I see you
Christ, may I hear you
Christ, may I love like you.
