NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 8/5

A piece of good news fell into my heart

with sweet relief

and since all blessings flow from you

- I thank you for this gift, Lord...

Some might call it luck or chance
but I shall name it unexpected grace:
a gift to lift my spirits,
a kind favor from your heart...

Remind me how your blessings, Lord,

come every day, in ways I sometimes 

sadly, often miss 

in my sadness, fear and worry...

And remind me when my days are gray
and dark with disappointment,
of all the times your gracious news
surprised my soul with joy...

 

Open wide my life, my senses, Lord
to all the ways your good news falls,

with mercy and with peace,

into my arms, my lap, my heart... 

And to those whose days are shrouded
in clouds of disappointment,
send me, your herald, Lord, to share

the good news of your grace...

A piece of good news fell into my heart

with sweet relief 

and since all blessings flow from you, Lord,

I thank you for this gift...

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

Line by line it was written  

Hope in every sentence  

He was good start to finish  

Yes He was 

The words that usher His presence  

And tell of the glories of heaven  

The earth that still shakes at the mention  

Yes it does  

  

I’ve got good news  

For the broken, for the hurting 

He came for you 

In your hoping, in your searching 

One thing remains true  

Jesus is still our Good News   

 

Freeing each soul that was bound up  

Loving the one who was unloved  

Giving mercy to sinners  

And he still does  

His love is as vast as an ocean  

He cares for the poor and the orphaned  

The healer that stopped for the one  

And He still does    

 

What joy, what relief 

His blood washed me clean  

There’s still hope for me 

For all He has redeemed  

He wrote a better story 

He has set me free 

There’s still hope for me
