Teach me to watch, Lord:
to stay awake,
to keep vigil,
to wait for you
as the night waits for dawn...
Teach me to watch
for your approach,
your drawing near,
your coming up alongside me
- especially when I least expect you...
Teach me, Lord, to watch
for your advent,
your arrival,
your appearing...
Teach me to watch
for signs of your grace in my life,
in the lives of those around me
and in the whole of your creation...
Teach me to watch
for the light of your word,
for your hand upon my shoulder,
for your healing touch,
for your mysterious, elusive presence...
when I think you've forgotten me,
Teach me to watch
with eyes of faith,
with a hopeful heart,
with a trusting spirit...
Teach me to watch for you, Lord,
for I know you're there:
making yourself known,
revealing yourself in so many ways,
inviting me to desire you,
prompting me to seek you,
leading me to find you...
for your arrival, your appearing,
for your advent in my life,
Amen.
You came waltzing over to me
And Your eyes they saw right through me
And You heard each one of my cries for help
And You came to rescue me
I was broken
Every prayer that I had spoken
Reached Your ears and all my tears weren't cried in vain
You carried all my pain
And put me back together again
You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me
Always faithful
To be leading, at this moment
Interceding for Your children
Though I've wandered astray from Your infinite ways
You've never left me alone
Never once have You forsaken me
Never once have You forsaken me
Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will guide and defend me
You'll guard and protect me
Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will lead me home
