Christ as a Light
St. Patrick's Breastplate Prayer
Music by Ryan Flanigan
Adapted from John Michael Talbot's version

Christ, as a light
Illumine and guide me
Christ, as a shield
Overshadow me

Christ under me
Christ over me
Christ beside me
On my left and on my right

This day be within me
This day be without me
Lowly and meek
Yet all-powerful, O

Be in the heart of each to whom I speak
Be in the mouth of each who speaks to me

This day be within me
This day be without me
Lowly and meek
Yet all-powerful, O

Christ, as a light
Christ, as a shield
Christ beside me
On my left and on my right
