NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 5/17

As evening comes, Lord,
I look back on the day just past...

I wanted and tried to live in your love today:
    to show you my love for you
    and to share your love
    with all whose paths crossed mine...

But the love I have for you, Lord,
    the love I live in word and deed,
    the love I share with others,
is but a shadow, a faint shadow,
    of the love you have for me
    and for all you call your own...

Lest I get lost in my self, Lord:
    shine the light of your love
    in all the corners of my heart
    and in the lives of all you name
    your chosen, your beloved, your own...

The love I have for you, O Lord,

    is but a shadow, a faint shadow

    of the love you have for me,

    your deep abiding love...

Protect me with your love, O Lord,
    as I lie awake, as I fall asleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
    and asleep, find peace and rest
        in the love you have for me...

Amen.

Only A Shadow of Your Love by Carey Landry

The love, I have for you, O Lord,

is only a shadow of your love for me;

only a shadow of your love for me,

your deep, abiding love. 

My own belief in you, O Lord,

is only a shadow of your faith in me;

only a shadow of your faith in me,

your deep and lasting faith.

My life is in your hands,

my life is in your hands.

My love for you will grow, O Lord, 

your light in me will shine.

 The dreams we share today, O Lord, 

are only a shadow of your dreams for us,

only a shadow of your dreams for us, 

if we but follow you. 

The joy we share today, my Lord,

is only a shadow of your joys for us 

only a shadow of your joys for us 

when we meet face to face.

Our lives are in your hands, 

our lives are in your hands, 

our love for you will grow, O Lord 

your light in us will shine.

Our lives are in your hands, 

our lives are in your hands, 

our love for you will grow, O Lord, 

your light in us will shine.
