The Deer's Cry Lyrics & Video

I arise today

Through the strength of heaven:

Light of sun,

Radiance of moon,

Splendour of fire,

Speed of lightning,

Swiftness of wind,

Depth of sea,

Stability of earth,

Firmness of rock.

I arise to-day

Through God's strength to pilot me:

God's eyes to look before me,

God's wisdom to guide me,

God's way to lie before me,

God's shield to protect me,

From all who shall wish me ill,

Afar and anear,

Alone and in a multitude.

Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,

Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ on my right, Christ on my left,

Christ when I lie down,

Christ when I sit down,

Christ when I arise,
Christ to shield me,

Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,

Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks of me.

I arise to-day

Christ In Me (The Deer's Cry): I wanted to make a video slideshow about Jesus being all in all. I found the song "The Deer's Cry" by Lisa (of Celtic Woman) and it was most fitting. I hope and pray that Christ will touch you through this video. (video from YouTube)
