lyrics

Be with me O God, this is all I pray
Wherever I may go, guard me on my way
Give me bread to eat and give me clothes to wear
Bring me home in peace, back to my father’s care
If You won’t go with me, don’t make me leave this place
For how else can I know if I’ve truly found Your grace
Walk with me O LORD and take me by the hand
Lead me like a child as I wander through the land

You made me like Yourself, God deep within
I know that like Adam my soul has sinned
But don’t curse me like Cain, for I’ve shed no blood
Like Noah, keep my head above the waters of the flood
Bless me just like Abraham everywhere I roam
Save me like his nephew Lot was saved from Sodom
Be with me like Isaac in a stranger’s land
Protect me like Jacob my life is in Your hand
Redeem me like Israel from Mitzraim
Show me like Joseph how to understand my dreams
Speak to me like Moses Your Servant face to face
Like Aaron let me come near Your most Holy Place

Be with me O God, this is all I pray
Wherever I may go, guard me on my way
Give me bread to eat and give me clothes to wear
Bring me home in peace, back to my father’s care
If You won’t go with me, don’t make me leave this place
For how else can I know if I’ve truly found Your grace
Walk with me O LORD and take me by the hand
Lead me like a child as I wander through the land

Remember me like Sarah, when I’m old and gray
Answer me like Rivkah every time I pray
Lift me up like Leah if I’m feeling blue
Love me like Rachel with a love that’s deep and true
Show me where there’s water, as You showed Hagar
Don’t burn me in the fire, LORD spare me like Tamar
Treat me like the midwives who saved the Hebrew boys
Let me dance like Miriam, let me sing with joy
Give me judgment like Deborah, put my enemies to death
Hear my voice like Hannah as I pray under my breath
Bring me in like Ruth, LORD to You I’ll cling
Show me grace like Esther when she stood before the king

Be with me O God, this is all I pray
Wherever I may go, guard me on my way
Give me bread to eat and give me clothes to wear
Bring me home in peace, back to my father’s care
If You won’t go with me, don’t make me leave this place
For how else can I know if I’ve truly found Your grace
Walk with me O LORD and take me by the hand
Lead me like a child as I wander through the land

As You did for Joshua wage my wars for me
Like Caleb let me follow You wholeheartedly
If I test you like Gideon don’t let your anger flare
Make me as strong as Samson before they cut his hair
Call to me like Samuel, wake me from my sleep
LORD You’re my shepherd, like David I’m Your sheep
Give me the heart to understand like Solomon the wise
Take me like Elijah let me rise up to the skies
Make me like Elisha with a body that can heal
Reveal Yourself to me like Ezekiel saw the wheel
Like Jonah in the whale let me see daylight again
Send Your angels when I’m down like Daniel in the lion’s den

Be with me O God, this is all I pray
Wherever I may go, guard me on my way
Give me bread to eat and give me clothes to wear
Bring me home in peace, back to my father’s care
If You won’t go with me, don’t make me leave this place
For how else can I know if I’ve truly found Your grace
Walk with me O LORD and take me by the hand
Lead me like a child as I wander through the land
