Devotion

I will believe with devotion
Never departing from thy tender care
With every thought and emotion
Wherever I am
You are with me there

Jesus come quickly
Jesus come surely
Into my heart
Into my soul
My spirit at rest sweet communion
My body's salvation, spirit and soul

Ever before me and leading
Gently you keep me
So tender and fair
As a good and gentle shepherd
Strong as a warrior
With delicate air

Jesus come quickly
Jesus come surely
Into my heart
Into my soul
My spirit at rest sweet communion
My body's salvation, spirit and soul

With every thought and emotion
With every word every action of life
You are my manna from heaven
Sustaining my soul with heavenly wine

Jesus come quickly
Jesus come surely
Into my heart
Into my soul
My spirit at rest sweet communion
My body's salvation, spirit and soul

---John Michael Talbot, "Devotion"
