As the sun sets, Lord,
and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
how'd I spend my day?
What words of mine now echo
in the hearts of friends and family?
What assistance did I offer
to others in their need?
What time did I spend
alone, with you, in prayer?
What comfort did I give
in healing, grace and mercy?
What openness was mine
to the gifts you sent my way?
What steps did I take
to reconcile with others?
What silence did I seek
to listen for your voice?
What effort did I make
to accept my neighbor's help?
What risk did I take
to be loyal to my faith?
What time did I spend
just for others, not for me?
What peace might now be mine
because I walked this day with you?
As the sun sets, Lord,
and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
how'd I spend my day?
and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
how'd I spend my day?
Protect me, Lord, as I lie awake,
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
