NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 2/1

On the Tuesdays of February's Black History Month, our Night Prayer will take its lead from the music of African American spirituals - tonight: Done Made My Vow to the Lord. On these four nights, I suggest you begin with the song and move from there to the words of prayer.

Done Made My Vow to the Lord

Done made my vow to the Lord   

And I never will turn back 

Oh, I will go, I shall go 

To see what the end will be 

 

When I was a mourner

Just like you 

I mourned and mourned 

‘Til I came through 

 

Amazing grace 

How sweet the sound 

I once was lost 

But now I’m found

 

Let's pray...

 

Help me not turn back, Lord,

    when the road ahead's unknown...

 

Help me not turn back

    when the way you lead confuses me...

Help me not turn back

    to escape a challenge I must face...

Help me not turn back

    out of pride, conceit or shame...

Help me not turn back, Lord,

    away from prayer and grace and you...

 

Give me faith to say, I'll go

    when I'm not sure yet where I'm headed...

 

Give me guts to say, I'll go

    when I'm confused and filled with doubt...

Give me hope to say I'll go,

    until I find the peace I seek...

Give me heart to say, I'll go

     when trust in you is all I have...

 

Then I will go, Lord, I shall go 

    so see me through until the end,

I will go, yes, I shall go

    for the end, I know, is you...

   

Protect me, Lord while I'm awake,

keep vigil while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and sleep deep in your peace...

Amen.
