Benediction
Song
Words and music by Al Rhodes-Wickett
(heard playing the guitar accompaniment)
God
be with you as you go away
God be with you as you live each day
God be with you as the sunset fades to night
Stand along with you to breathe the morning light
Though good days and bad pass you by
If God be with you, so am I
God
be with you in the life you live
Teacher, carpenter, executive
God works with you as you toil beneath the sun
Tired together you can smile when work is done
Whatever the task you may try
If God be with you, so am I
God
be with you in your sufferings
Soothe the creeping pain that hunger brings
Though the misery of sickness bites your soul
Strength surrounds you that can keep your spirit whole
There's hardship, I can't tell you why
But if God be with you, so am I
Take
my hand; don't ask why
Now you stand; soon you'll take to the sky,
Know that God goes with you, friend, wherever you may fly
And if God be with you, so am I
Written and recorded in 1974 for the original musical "Big
up your Mind."
