All My Life Lord, Be My Guardian
All my life, Lord, be my Guardian, always at my side abide.
Fears and worries I can face Lord, when I know You are my Guide.
Help me face each day anew, Lord, be it filled with joys or pain.
Lord, I know that You care for me, I’m a child of Your domain.
Lord, stay close and ever guide me, on my own I’m not much worth.
Help me, Lord, to spread some sunshine for my neighbours here on earth.
May all see Your love shine through me, flowing freely day by day.
In my life and in my labours, put Your love on full display.
When my time on earth grows shorter and my eventide is here,
when my drive is slowing down, Lord, ev’n my sight is getting near,
in my latter days on earth here, fix my eyes then on the cross.
To Your Father’s home then take me, safely take me then across.
