NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 5/19

 

Something 'bout the setting sun 

turns my heart   

to musing on times past, 

returning to remember

times of sorrow,

times of joy...

 

Something 'bout the end of day
finds me rummaging,

sorting through my memories, 

sorting out the best ones, sifting 

through an attic's hidden treasures...

Something 'bout this evening, Lord, 

stirs my grateful heart 

with souvenirs 

of long-ago-but-not-forgotten joy,  

of peace embedded 

deep within my soul...

Something 'bout this eventide 

comforts and consoles,

reminding me, 

in good times and in bad:

you've always been my best, 

my beloved, my trusted friend...

Something in the twilight, Lord, 

renews my faith,

makes fresh my hope

and kindles in my heart of hearts, 

the embers of your kindness,

the fire of your love...

Something 'bout the setting sun 

now turns my heart to you, Lord, 

with soulful, happy memories, 

with dreams and sweet imaginings 

to keep me safe in sleep 

throughout the night...

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,

keep vigil while I sleep,

that awake, I keep the watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen. 

Tonight's song is a guitar instrumental - the second half is my favorite part.  Daniel Bachman plays us a beautiful musical sunset - something you might enjoy sitting with for a while, at least doe as long you like...
