Story behind the song
As you might see from the lyrics we extended the original concept of Christ protecting us in all situations, and added some 21st century situations in there too such as shopping and surfing.
Lyrics
Christ be with me Christ within me Christ behind me Christ before me Christ beside me Christ to win me Christ to comfort And restore me Christ beneath me Christ above me Christ in quiet Christ in danger Christ in hearts Of all that love me Christ in mouth of Friend or stranger. Christ in weeping Christ in laughter Christ in sleeping Christ in grieving Christ in longing Christ in leaving Christ in working and believing Christ in those who look upon me Christ within the ears that hear me Christ beside me Christ to win me Christ to comfort And restore me Christ in shopping Christ in playing Christ in loving Christ in praying Christ in writing Christ in surfing Christ in every hour we’re breathing. Christ be in our deep frustration Christ be in our expectation Christ-on my right side Christ-on my left side Christ before me and behind me. Christ be with me Christ within me Christ behind me Christ before me Christ beside me Christ to win me Christ to comfort And restore me. Christ beneath me Christ above me Christ in quiet Christ in danger, Christ in hearts Of all that love me, Christ in mouth of Friend or stranger. Christ in those who look upon me Christ within the ears that hear me Christ beside me Christ to win me Christ to comfort And restore me.
