Be with me, God, as I draw near,
your touch is neither harsh nor fleeting.
Your arms and heart are open,
filling me and infusing me
with your will and nature.
Be with me, God, as I draw near,
your touch is kind and gentle.
Always in all ways,
your embrace holds me and unwraps me,
life received and love surrendered.
Be with me, God, as I draw near,
your touch is careful and complete.
I yield with my whole being
to be one with you
endless and constant
Be with me, God, as I draw near,
your touch is life-giving and love-bearing.
