The Deer’s Cry - Lee Harris & Davor Bozic (feat. Eva Irgl & Choir Ave)

Thank you all for your beautiful response to The Deer’s Cry song, which we released last Friday.

In your comments and feedback, many of you referred to it as a prayer or a hymn, and that is so true. I love how many of you resonated with the idea of a protection song, and there is something very aligning in the melody and the text of this song.

We wanted to create a special music video for it, so we went out into nature and did just that!

We hope you enjoy this creation from our team and much love!

Lyrics:

I arise today through the strength of heaven
Light of sun, radiance of moon
Splendor of fire, speed of lightning
Swiftness of wind, depth of the sea
Stability of earth, firmness of rock

I arise today through God's strength to pilot me
God's eye to look before me
God's wisdom to guide me
God's way to lie before me
God's shield to protect me

From all who shall wish me ill
Afar and a-near
Alone and in a multitude
Against every cruel, merciless power
That may oppose my body and soul

Christ with me, Christ before me
Christ behind me, Christ in me
Christ beneath me, Christ above me
Christ on my right, Christ on my left
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down
Christ when I arise, Christ to shield me
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me
I arise today

Released on the day of my son's birth, but just coming upon it now. A really gorgeous, modern hymn ❤️

Just to say thank you for giving me permission to play this wonderful video in our church service for St Oswald's day. It was very powerful to lead us into our prayers and the congregation really appreciated it and loved both the scenery and your singing. Blessings

Thank You, Thank You Thank You Lee and Davor Bozic. This music is so infused with the Christ Consciouness which has cosmic pervasiveness and power. So beautiful because of the words and so tender, as is implied by "deer's fragility, and innocense. The words invoke a sacred shield. So beautiful, so full of Light and Love. Blessings upon You and your entire Staff.

I have been listening to this song many times every day since it came out. It touches me so deeply. Thank you for sharing the back story. I grew up in a fundamentally religious home and normally this language is quite triggering. It has been such a healing experience listening to this song. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[joycej]

Sublime! Thank you, Lee and Davor for this beautiful offering.

[ciaramurphy]

I couldn't believe when I heard the words, I have a card with these words of St Patrick, that I picked up in a church, on my bedside table which I say as often as I remember and I believe has brought me peace and lots of goodness. Heart pulling...Thank you. 💜💤
