NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 4/15

My prayer this evening, Lord,

is a prayer I'd do well to offer every night

because there's not a day goes by

when I don't have cause to praise and thank you

for so many gifts and blessings...

For the times you helped me make a difference today,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

For the times your Spirit tapped my gifts and talents,

sharing with others what you have shared with me,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

For the times today when my eyes were open

to your presence and power all around me,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

For any time this day when, if only for a moment,

I turned to you in prayer,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

For the times you helped me know what to say

and gave me the courage to speak,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord... 

 

For the times today when I really tried

to see life through my neighbors eyes,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord... 

For those times today when my ears were open

and I heard your word, your voice, your call

in the sounds and silence of this world,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

 

For any time today when I was humbled

and saw and understood myself

for precisely who I am: no more, no less,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

 

For the joyful moments when I knew

I was, indeed, at last at peace with you,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord... 

 

For "keeping it in today" 

instead of worrying over yesterday

or fretting  'bout tomorrow, 

I give you thanks and praise, Lord...

 

For any time today, Lord,

when I let go my foolish ways

and truly searched for wisdom,

I give you thanks and praise...

 

For all the times I tried today

just to do the next right thing,

I give you thanks and praise, Lord... 

 

Every day is filled, Lord,

with your blessings and your gifts:

some I surely miss but for the many that I find,

I give you thanks and praise

for each moment, for each grace...

Protect me, Lord at the end of day

and watch over me when I fall asleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

Jesus, thank you Jesus  

All my words fall short  

I got nothing new  

How could I express  

All my gratitude?  

 

I could sing these songs  

As I often do  

But every song must end  

And You never do  

 

So I lift up my hands  

And praise You again and again 

'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah  

Hallelujah  

And I know it's not much 

But I've nothing else fit for a King 

Except for a heart singing hallelujah  

Hallelujah 

 

I've got one response  

I've got just one move  

With my arm stretched wide  

I will worship You  

 

So I lift up my hands  

And praise You again and again  

'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah  

Hallelujah 

And I know it's not much  

But I've nothing else fit for a King  

Except for a heart singing hallelujah 

Hallelujah  

 

So come on, my soul  

Oh, don't you get shy on me 

 Lift up your song  

'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs  

Get up and praise the Lord  

So I lift up my hands  

And praise You again and again 

'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah 

Hallelujah  

And I know it's not much 

 But I've nothing else fit for a King  

Except for a heart singing hallelujah  

Hallelujah
