Jesus, the Holy One of God,
you hem me in, behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
The man with an unclean spirit
recognized who you were--
should it be hard for me?
Paul was ready to die for you;
may your Spirit give me strength
and courage to live or to die,
knowing that wherever I go
you are with me.
