BE WITH ME

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, BE WITH ME I PRAY

WHEN I FROM YOU, JESUS, AM TEMPTED TO STRAY.

PLEASE GIVE ME THE GRACE TO FOLLOW YOUR LIGHT

AND DO NOT WHAT I THINK BUT WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, WHEN I FEEL ALONE;

I BEG THAT THIS SINNER YOU WILL NEVER DISOWN.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, WHEN I’M IN DISTRESS

AND HELP ME OVERCOME MY HUMAN WEAKNESS.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, WHEN I AGONIZE

OVER WHAT I CAN’T CHANGE IN SPITE OF SATAN’S LIES.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, WHEN I FEEL THERE’S NO HOPE

THAT I THRU THESE TIMES THRU YOUR GRACE LEARN TO COPE.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, AS THE FATHER’S WITH YOU

AND HELP ME YOUR FOOTSTEPS EVERY DAY TO PURSUE.

BE WITH ME, DEAR JESUS, AND HELP ME TO DO

WHAT YOUR FATHER HAD ALSO EXPECTED OF YOU.
