Jesus, keep me in your care.
Protect me from the devil’s snare.
Keep my heart and mind pure.
When problems arise, help me to endure.
If I should falter, take hold of me.
Blessed Jesus, have mercy!

Life is full of distractions.
Lord, guide my words and actions.
When I fall, reach down your hand.
Lift me up and help me to stand.
In times of temptation, take hold of me.
Blessed Jesus, have mercy!

Storms toss me about and I feel I’ll drown.
Calm the storms and set my feet on solid ground.
Jesus, you are my shelter and fortress.
My peace in times of trouble and distress.
When troubles arise, take hold of me.
Blessed Jesus, have mercy!

Jesus said; “Trust in me, I’ll not forsake you.
In my loving arms, I’ll take you.
I’ll keep you safe from all harm.
You shall be upheld by my mighty arm.
Walk the journey and take hold of me.
I’ll keep you in my grace and mercy.”
