The Psalmistry
(Individual):
1. Lord, be with me.
Lord, be with me.
As I give my life.
As I give my life unto You.
Lord, be with me.
Lord, be with me.
As I give my life.
As I give my life unto You.
(Prayerfully, and more slowly)
As I step before Your altar, Lord,
and I give my life to You.
May Your hand be on my shoulder
in all I do.
(Congregational Response):
2. God be with you.
God be with you.
As you give your life.
As you give your life
to the Lord.
God be with you.
God be with you.
As you give your life.
As you give your life
to the Lord.
May the beauty of the Lord be upon you,
and establish the work of your hands.
May His love be upon and within you
in all you do.
(Last time: individual and congregation sing their
initial parts together, with endings "My life to You/God be with you",
respectively)
