Be with me Lord
The darkness of night surrounds me
Like smoky tendrils its spectral fingers grip
My courage is but a flicker, a spark in winter’s cold
Remain with me and proffer strength
I am but dust without Your Spirit, Your might
So small a thing was I, a lonesome soul adrift
My father’s son, born of Adam’s fallen race
A simple man who loves your truth, your word
When your Son bought me by your grace
You gave to me a name, and to my spirit, wings
Stay with me Lord—finish making me
That a giant I may be
In Christ my Savior
By this love that you have spawned
The One who works such fruitfulness in me
Be with me Lord, until the day has dawned
