Sometimes, Lord,
in spite of all that's going on around me
(and everything that's happening inside me)
there comes into my life a moment's grace,
pure gift from your heart, shared with mine...
There comes a time when, without a doubt,
I know your presence in my loneliness,
your truth in my confusion,
your wisdom in my folly...
A time when I trust, suddenly and deeply,
your strong arms around my weakness,
your promise in my hopelessness,
your Spirit guiding every step I take...
A time when your light fills my darkness,
your hand lifts up my heavy heart,
your mercy gently wipes my tears away...
Unexpected gifts from you,
these moments come more often than I know:
fear and hurt and anger blind me
and I often miss your drawing near,
your strong arm reaching out to lift me up
from all that keeps me down and holds me back...
Let no graced moment pass me by, Lord,
no gift from you go missing or unopened,
no touch of healing grace escape my notice...
Break through my anger, hurt and fear, Lord,
open me to all your gifts
and rouse me to believe what I don't see...
Today, Lord,
in spite of all that's going on around me
(and everything that's happening inside me)
send a moment of your grace, pure gift from you,
to help me know that you are with me
- in and through it all...
Amen.
