BE WITH ME, JESUS

Be with me – take not – Your presence from me
Let Your Spirit dwell – in me – let Him be
My strength and solace – in turmoil of heart
From me, Oh Lord – let Him never depart

Without You, Lord – there is no breath of life
Without You, Lord – the sorrow – it is rife
Happiness eludes me – from my soul – it is gone
Your peace in me – is vacant – totally withdrawn

Hide not Your face from me – show me Your love
Touch my heart with Your grace – sent from above
Abandon me not – in my hour of need
In Your great love, Lord – I am blessed indeed

Fill me with your Spirit – right to the brim
Let not hopelessness enter – faith be dim
Renew me – redo me – all over again
Today – tomorrow – forever – Amen

Infuse me – use me – for Your Glory, Lord
Let me not forget – the truth in Your Word
Raise me up, Lord – both steadfast and strong
Be with me, Lord – where You only belong

Strengthen me – Lord – oh, please hear my cry
I don’t need to know the what, where or why
I trust in Your judgment – Your mercy, Lord
I trust in the truth revealed in Your Word

I trust in Your Love poured out on the Tree
I trust in Your Promise to always be
Faithful and true for eyes that can see
There for us all – who trust in Thee

Be with me – Lord – refresh me – renew me
This pain and discomfort – really threw me
Jesus, come quickly – come quickly, I pray
Let this doubt not take hold – unravel – fray

Oh, precious, incorruptible Blood of the Lamb
Encompass me – protect me – the sinner I am
Enthrall me – befall me – change me within
Blot my sin – from Thy sight – let it begin

Wherein and where out – let the demon flee
Far away – to the dry place – let it be
Confined in the spaces – to do no harm
To cause no distress – disruption – alarm

Wash me – and cleanse me – pure white as snow
Be near me – cheer me – wherever I go
Lift my distress – give me some rest – I pray
Be with me, Jesus – and love me Your Way
