NIGHT PRAYER: 4/27

Sometimes, Lord, 

we find our hope 

in the smallest of signs:

    gifts from you 

    reminding our hearts

    and assuring our souls

    that all shall be well,

    yes, all indeed

    shall be well...

 

You left such a sign, 

a gift of your love, 

    upon the path 

    my sister and bro-in-law walked

    to visit their son's final resting place,

    a year from the day he passed over, Lord,

    from his home in the mountains

    to life with you...

 

 

Pasque flowers, Lord! 

How perfect:

    this close to Easter, 

    your rising in glory,

    your promise of peace,

    your pledge of new life 

    for ever and ever, 

    age upon age,

    world without end...

 

Such a simple blossom, 

    rising with you,

    waking in vernal beauty,

touching hearts who happen upon

    this smallest of signs,

    a gift of your love,

    reminding our hearts,

    assuring our souls

    that all shall be well,

    yes, all indeed

    shall be well...

 

Open our eyes and our ears, Lord,

open our hearts, our souls and our dreams

lest we miss even one

    of the smallest of signs

    of your gift of love,

    your promise of peace,

    your pledge of life for ever and ever,

    age upon age, 

    world without end...

 

Protect us, Lord, while we're awake

and watch over us while we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen. 

 

I posted this song just last week 

- but it's too perfect for tonight's prayer not to post again!
