GOD, BE IN MY HEAD
LYRICS
God be in my head
Be in my head
Be in my head
In my – Oh, be in my
God, be in my thinking
God be in my thinking
God be in my eyes
Be in my eyes
Be in my eyes
In my – Oh, be in my
God, be in my seeing
God be in my seeing
Take this body you have made
And fill it with your grace, O God
Keep me on the holy way
Until my final day is done
God be in my hands
Be in my hands
Be in my hands
In my – Oh, be in my
God, be in my working
God be in my working
God be in my feet
Be in my feet
Be in my feet
In my – Oh, be in my
God, be in my going
God be in my going

“God, Be in My Head” is a simple prayer for God’s presence to fill and govern the whole person.
The song takes familiar language from an old Christian prayer — “God be in my head, and in my understanding; God be in mine eyes, and in my looking…” — and gives the Church a way to sing it again. It is not only a prayer for a worship service. It is a prayer for ordinary life.
