VERSE 1
━━━━━━━━━━━
When the night is closing in,
You remain my light within.
Every wound begins to heal,
By the love Your hands reveal.
Bread of Heaven, living flame,
I will always praise Your name.
When I'm weak, You make me strong,
In Your presence I belong.

Anima Christi,

Lift my weary spirit,

Blood that saved the nations,
Now is life in me.

Never let me go.
Hold me through the fire,
Till Your glory shows.

VERSE 2
━━━━━━━━━━━
When the enemy draws near,
Your holy voice is all I hear.
You defend me with Your love,
Guide me from the heavens above.
At the hour my journey ends,
Call my soul to rise again.
With the angels I will sing,
Holy, Holy is my King.
