Tune: St Leonards
('May the mind of Christ my Saviour')
Based on a prayer by St Columba (c.521-597AD)
***********
O God, alone with none but you
I do sense your presence true
I journey on my way with you
In all I say, do
What need I fear, when you are near
O King of night and day here
More safe am I within your hand
I so understand
Safer than if human hosts were
To gather, to my help stir
Yet you too work through them by your
Grace from your rich store

in an increasingly risk adverse world, whilst you can't beat safety, going over the top is a false economy and can be like shooting oneself simultaneously in both the head and the foot ..
I'm hopping about now - I shot myself in the foot! Did I? lol.
Many years ago I went to Iona where St Columba's tomb is, I am sure that in St Oran's Chapel on Iona I was touched by My God.

Good write Gold. Ah yes, do you remember we met St Columba in person too?!
