Pausing here at the end of day,
to be with you and thank you, Lord,
for all of this day's blessings;
to sit with you and ask you
to pardon how I failed today;
to thank you and to praise you
for being with me all day long...
You know every thought I had today,
every word I spoke
and everything I did and failed to do
and still you're with me,
still you love me...
You know all my fears and worries,
you know all my dreams and schemes
you know all I hope and ask for
and still you're patient with me,
still you wait for me...
Whether I pray and pay attention
or ignore you and forget you,
whether I play the careless fool
or live within your word,
you are faithful and attentive,
ever steadfast in your love...
You're here as each day ends, Lord,
when I come to say good night,
and you'll be there when morning dawns,
long before I wake from sleep...
More faithful than the sun
do you rise daily in my heart
and brighter than the fullest moon
your guide my soul at night...
Be with me as I fall asleep,
be there when I wake up:
you, my strength, my joy, my hope,
my way, my truth, my life...
Amen.
Taps: a vocal arrangement
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
And good night, peaceful night,
'Til the light of the dawn shineth bright;
God is near, do not fear, friend: good night!
