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.
