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.

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.
