Overshadow Me Lyrics

by Susan Hawthorne

Overshadow me, O Lord.
Overshadow me.
May the shadow of Your cross
Keep me true at any cost.
Help me die to save the lost.
Overshadow me.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e98501-susan_hawthorne~overshadow_me_lyrics.html ]
Overrule me, Holy King.
Overrule in everything.
Take my foolish fantasies,
Choices not ordained to be.
Overrule and oversee.
Overrule me.

Captivate my heart, O Friend!
Captivate me to the end.
May I hold you tenderly
For a vast eternity.
Spread your mantle over me.
Captivate my heart.

Rain Your light on me, O Sun.
May I be a radiant one.
May the fullness of your grace
Wash full-blown upon my face.
Let the darkness leave no trace.
Rain Your light on me.

Be my shield, O Risen One,
Till this warrior's work is done.
Let the folding of your wings
Hide me from the tempter's sting.
Teach me how to rest and sing.
Be a shield to me.

Hedge me in , O Shepherd Guide.
Hedge me in on every side.
Warn anew this traitor's heart,
Before treachery can start.
Let my life reflect Your art.
Be a shield to me,
Rain Your light on me,
Captivate my heart,
Overrule, my Lord,
And overshadow me.
