Shelter me, O Lord,
On the day
Your Anger blazes forth.
Hide me
On the Day of Your Wrath.

Keep your servant
Steadfast and at peace
Even as the stars
Fall from the sky.

Cover my nakedness.
Cloth me as Your Beloved.
Throw the corner of Your mantle
Over me.

Live my life with me,
Christ all in all,
Forgiving all.

I make my abode
With your saints,
Wholeheartedly living
To praise and worship You.
Your Will is my will.

I delight to live
Carrying the Cross,
You loving prepare for me.

In my dying to myself,
Living Eucharist,
My footsteps tread Your Way.
Christ’s Passion,
My Calvary.
