Verse 1
Christ be in my waking, as the sun is rising
In my day of working, with me every hour
Christ be in my resting, as the day is ending
Calming and refreshing, watching through the night
Verse 2
Christ be in my thinking, and my understanding
Guarding me from evil, walking in the light
Christ be in my speaking, every word a blessing
Pure and not deceiving, grace to all who hear
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You
Every day to walk with You
Saviour, You're my deepest longing
You're the One I live for
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You
Verse 3
Christ be in my gladness for the joy of living
Thankful for the goodness of the Father's hand
Christ be in my sorrow, in my day of darkness
Knowing that I follow in the steps He trod
Verse 4
Christ when hope has faded, nothing left to cling to
Every pleasure jaded, every well is dry
Christ the loving Shepherd draws me with His kindness
Leads me from the desert to the streams of life
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You
Every day to walk with You
Saviour, You're my deepest longing
You're the One I live for
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You
Every day to walk with You
Saviour, You're my deepest longing
You're the One I live for
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You
