I bind unto myself today the Father, Spirit, Son. I call upon the holy name of God, the Three-in-One. I rise today by by the power of faith that Christ was born to save, conquering death upon the cross and bursting from the grave.
Christ before me, Christ behind, Christ to guide me, Christ beside, Christ to comfort me. The Christ restored.
Hallelujah! Christ is love.
I bind unto myself the power of his redeeming love., the sweet well done of judgment hour. In Christ this work is done.
Christ before me, Christ behind, Christ to guide me, Christ beside, Christ to comfort, Christ restore.
Hallelujah!
Christ is love!
I bind unto myself the might of God to hold and stay. His ear to hear, his eye to see, his hand to guide the way. Against the demon snares of sin that drive temptation's storm, the lust, the greed, the wars of men, in Christ their hold is torn.
Christ before me, Christ behind, Christ within me, Christ to guide me, Christ beside. Christ to comfort, Christ restore.
