NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 2/12

 

I don't make a habit of going around 

telling other folks what I think they need 

- I'm not keen on others so advising me!

But sometimes, Lord - like tonight -

sometimes when I see what I really need,

I have an urge to share that with others

because in the most important ways

I think we all need the same things...

I know I need your grace, Lord,

   to make it day to day,

I know I need your love

   to lift me up when I am down,

I know I need your mercy

   to forgive me when I fail,

I know I need your strength

   to help me when I'm weak,

I know I need so many things

    that only you can give me,

I know I need you, Jesus,

   need you more than I can say... 

I'm in need, Lord, 

and I know I'm not alone...

 

I'm in need of things that all folks need,

gifts that only you can give:

   your mercy and your strength,

   your gracious love and peace

but most of all, above all else,

we need you, O Lord, our God...

Protect us, Lord, while we're awake

and watch over us as we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

In Need by Ross King

   performed by Praise and Harmony Singers

In need of grace

In need of love   

In need of mercy raining down from high above 

In need of strength

In need of peace 

In need of things that only you can give to me 

In need of Christ

The perfect Lamb  

My refuge strong

The Great I Am*

This is my song

My humble plea  

I am your child,

I am in need

 

 *When Moses asked for God's name so that he might tell his people,

     God replied, "Tell them, 'I Am.'"
