My Lady,
You are in my bones.
You are with me always in all ways;
You embrace me and hold me close.
From the time I wake up until I go to sleep;
You are my companion everyday in every way.
Before a word is on my tongue,
a thought in my mind
a feeling in my heart
You accept it.
Can I escape from your Spirit?
You surround me
I am the center of your circle,
Can I flee from your presence?
You have taken my hand in yours,
we walk side by side
You are in my bones.
You are with me always in all ways;
You embrace me and hold me close
For you created me in you image and likeness;
Indeed, all your works are delightful,
all is well and all will be well.
My soul is not hidden from you
for, before I was made,
your eyes saw my
unformed body, mind, and heart.
Vainly I said, “Surely darkness will hide me,
and I can hide in the shadows,”
however, it is futile to hide
the darkness is not dark to you,
there are no shadows in your light.
You are in my bones.
You are with me always in all ways;
You embrace me and hold me close
Take away my fears and doubts
make me fierce and free
Hug me, O God,
and relax my body,
and temper my thoughts,
and soothe my heart.
