COME I THIS DAY

As I said yesterday, I found many wonderful prayers when researching the Celts. Below is another prayer I found that comes from the humble, soft heart of an ancient believer in the triune Yahweh. It is the prayer of a believer in who is laying himself at the feet of Yehsua with complete trust. May you be able to say this prayer and trust that Yeshua is your savior and your shelter.

Come I this day to the Father
Come I this day to the Son,
Come I to the Holy Spirit powerful;
Come I this day with God,
Come I this day with Christ,
Come I with the Spirit of kindly bairn.

God, and Spirit, and Jesus,
From the crown of my head
To the soles of my feet;
Come I with my reputation,
Come I with my testimony,
Come I to Thee, Jesu -
Jesu, shelter me.

Jesus, from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, here I am, shelter me.
