GOD, BE MY SHIELD
Be with me in this trial god;
be my shield and lift the burdens from my shoulders,
take away everything in my life that seems to be so dead.
Be with me as I suffer,
as I cry,
and as I hang my head.
Wipe each tear that fall from my eyes;
be the assuredness in my heart that reminds me that everything will be alright.
Bring me to a reason in knowing what is, but also remind me of the things that I will never be able to change.
See through me, oh god, as I stand before you in
trouble,
doubt and pain.
Be my crutch that I can always lean of, and give my soul the faith that I can feast of.
Faith alone and I will not die,
but trust alone will bring me everlasting life.
So be here with me god, now and for the end of my days....
when my time has grown to be so limited and the others have turned away.
I’ve always known that I have had you here and at my side;
that you would never leave me,
and that you would never let me die.
Be with me in this trial god, this trial that some call life; help me to seek the truth through everyone else’s lies.
Help me to forgive and to understand the things that I don’t; when the others are giving in, help me to stand my own ground and simply say that I won’t.
Be with me today god, and for the rest of my life, be with me god in my moments when all truth has been revealed....
Protect me god, always be my shield.
