81. Prayer for Protection

1 The light of God surrounds me;
The love of God enfolds me;
The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches over me.
Wherever I am, God is!

2 The light of God surrounds you;
The love of god enfolds you;
The power of God protects you;
The presence of God watches over you.
Wherever you are, God is!

3 The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is!
