This song is one of my ultimate favourites. It is a lyrical blessing based upon an ancient celtic prayer.

Christ be beside me
Christ be before me
Christ be behind me
the King of my heart

Christ be within me
Christ be below me
Christ be above me
He will never depart

Christ on my right hand
Christ on my left hand
Christ all around me
Shield in the strife

Christ in my sleeping
Christ in my sitting
Christ in my rising
Light of my life

Christ be beside me
Christ be before me
Christ be behind me
the King of my heart

Christ be within me
Christ be below me
Christ be above me
He will never depart

Amen
