Verse 1
Christ be in my waking, as the sun is rising 
In my day of working, with me every hour 
Christ be in my resting, as the day is ending 
Calming and refreshing, watching through the night 
 
Verse 2
Christ be in my thinking, and my understanding 
Guarding me from evil, walking in the light 
Christ be in my speaking, every word a blessing 
Pure and not deceiving, grace to all who hear 
 
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You 
Every day to walk with You  
Saviour, You're my deepest longing 
You're the One I live for 
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You 
 
Verse 3
Christ be in my gladness for the joy of living 
Thankful for the goodness of the Father's hand 
Christ be in my sorrow, in my day of darkness 
Knowing that I follow in the steps He trod 
 
Verse 4
Christ when hope has faded, nothing left to cling to 
Every pleasure jaded, every well is dry 
Christ the loving Shepherd draws me with His kindness 
Leads me from the desert to the streams of life 
 
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You 
Every day to walk with You  
Saviour, You're my deepest longing 
You're the One I live for 
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You 
 
Chorus
Jesus, this is my devotion, all my life to know You 
Every day to walk with You  
Saviour, You're my deepest longing 
You're the One I live for 
Teach me, Lord, to walk with You
