NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 8/15

Some nights when I come to pray, Lord,
I don't have words to say,
not even a voice to speak with,
no song to sing...

Sometimes I just can't put the words together,
sometimes I'm just too lazy,
and sometimes it's because I'm tired and sleepy...


When I can't find my voice, Lord,
when my words can't find my lips:
then be my prayer and speak for me,
be the voice of my silent heart,
be my song and sing the lyrics
locked inside my soul...

I know that if I trust in you, Lord:
you'll be my strength,
you'll lift me up,
you'll be my everlasting love
and yes, you'll be my song...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

You Will Be My Song by Don Moen

You know my needs, all that's unspoken

you hold the pieces of all that's been broken

even when a melody won't come

even when my words are not enough

You will be my song

you will be my praise

you will be my voice

when I'm lost for words to say

you will be my strength

and you will lift me up

you will be my portion

and my everlasting love

you will be my song

Before I call I know you'll hear me

when hope is gone still you are near me

even when the answer is delayed

even through the darkness I will say

Refrain

Even when I feel like I'm alone

I know you'll never leave me on my own

Refrain
