Lyrics

God lives in me
and may He there abide.
I've renounced the devil,
and Jesus is my guide.

Chorus:
God lives in me,
cause I've been baptised
in the name of the Father
and of the Son
and Of the Holy Spirit.

When on my head
baptismal waters poured
I became a child Of God
and brother of my Lord.

      Thanks Louise, that was a great lead. I've purchased the book accompanying that CD, and learned that John Redmond also wrote another very popular song about the 12 disciples, that I haven't been able to find information about before.
