Night Prayer: SUNDAY 8/29

Over the past few days, Lord,

I've done a lot of spring cleaning:

I know it's not the season

but I didn't get to it back in April

and - well, better late than never, right?

I don't know why I put it off:

I always feel so good once it's done!

 

There's a real grace, Lord,

in sorting through all my stuff,

taking inventory,

organizing what's in disarray,

putting things where they belong

and most of all: trash bagging 

all that needs to go! 

 

It's work that leaves me feeling clean,

refreshed, renewed, ready to begin again!

 

Somehow, Lord,

the ordering of things around me

orders everything within

and brings me peace,

making room in every way

for you

in my house and in my heart

where you come to make your home...

 

However late comes my spring cleaning

your grace is never out of season, Lord,

and I'm grateful for the peace I've found,

around and deep within,

in cleaning of my rooms

and your cleansing of my soul...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

Create In Me by Jay Stocker

 

 

Create in me a pure heart, O God, O God,

   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, O God,

   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 

So I can be holy, so I can be clean before you, Lord.

 

Create in me a pure heart, O God, O God,

   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, O God,

   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 

So I can be holy, so I can be clean before you, Lord.

So I can be holy, so I can be clean before you, Lord,

   before you, Lord, clean before you, Lord.

 

Create in me a pure heart, O God, O God.
