The Breastplate of Saint Patrick
When my work takes me places I don't want to go
Christ before me
And my heart aches with sorrow as I hit the road
Christ be with me
When the care of my family takes all that I have
Christ within me
When I'm worn and exhausted, ashamed that I'm mad
Christ defend me
I rise up today in a strength that is not my own
I'm held by the promise of God that I'm never alone
When I'm tossed to the side and I wanna give up
Christ beside me
When I'm busting my ass, but it's never enough
Christ beside me
When I work hard but someone else gets the reward
God's eyes see me
And I ask for promotion and they shut the door
God's ears hear me
I rise up today in a strength that is not my own
I'm held by the promise of God that I'm never alone
When I climb the first steps toward a long held dream
Christ above me
I leap out in faith and I hope to find wings
Christ beneath me
Christ before me
And my heart aches with sorrow as I hit the road
Christ be with me
When the care of my family takes all that I have
Christ within me
When I'm worn and exhausted, ashamed that I'm mad
Christ defend me
I rise up today in a strength that is not my own
I'm held by the promise of God that I'm never alone
When I'm tossed to the side and I wanna give up
Christ beside me
When I'm busting my ass, but it's never enough
Christ beside me
When I work hard but someone else gets the reward
God's eyes see me
And I ask for promotion and they shut the door
God's ears hear me
I rise up today in a strength that is not my own
I'm held by the promise of God that I'm never alone
When I climb the first steps toward a long held dream
Christ above me
I leap out in faith and I hope to find wings
Christ beneath me
