Take nothing extra with you do not plan ahead Trust in my divine providence that you will be safe and fed I send you out two by two a companion for the way The time is now to sow and gather we must not delay Be gracious and thankful for what you are provided And be discerning when someone has confided Bring peace to those who give you welcome Stay and enjoy the company In a place of hostility do not linger For wasps all have a stinger Take heart I am with you always Even to the end of the age I have loved you from before time began I am Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords I Am Who Am I send my angels to guard you, the Spirit to guide you I give you my mother and I walk beside you The world is at my feet and I hold you in my hands I want for your good so heed my commands They will keep you on a right path and straight They will take you into my fold by the narrow gate You are my children my beloved so dear More precious than all the treasure I am sincere You are loved and cared for, watched over day and night No matter where you are you will never leave my sight I will hold you to my chest I will give you peace and rest Take refuge in the shelter of my wings In the shadow of the cross Grace sings Look to me in my boundless mercy Be satisfied all you who are thirsty Lay your hands upon my life Let your Spirit fall upon me like spring rain Be ever present in my joy and my strife Help me find healing and goodness even amidst pain
