Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I rise, Christ to shield me.
Here is a nice song that I think can be derived in some of the wording ideas from St. Patrick and “St. Patrick’s Breastplate”. Yes?

This song fuels my heart in being a warrior for the Savior.
St. Patrick’s Day will never be the same again.
“St. Patrick’s Day will never be the same again.”
Indeed.
I believe the whole piece has indeed been set to music several times, but I can’t give you any details, although I THINK John Michael Talbot may be one singer/composer who has done so.
