Night Prayer on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus...MMMM
 |
| Sculpture by Timothy P. Schmalz |
Far beyond my dreaming,
Lord,
your great heart swells
eternally,
holding in
its chambers
every human person
created in your image,
the peoples of all ages
of every
race and nation,
those long gone, those present now
and all those yet to
come...
You hold me in your
heart, Lord,
where you've held me from all time,
since long before my
birth,
for all things come
to be through you,
without you,
nothing is....
In your holy heart, O
Jesus,
we are brothers,
sisters, all
and children of one
Father,
called to open up our
hearts
as wide as you do yours,
in mercy, love and
peace...
You bid us sync our hearts with yours
in thought and word and
deed
'til all hearts beat
as one, Lord
through your Spirit's healing grace...
Swell my soul to welcome in, Lord,
the stranger I've not met,
the one whose ways are not my own
and those whom I've estranged
by my foolishness and pride...
As you have room in
your love, Lord,
for every one of us,
help me make room in my heart
for all whose paths cross mine...
Keep me in your heart, Lord
hold me close within your arms:
may the home that's mine within you
be my home for ever more...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,
watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I keep the watch with you
and rest, deep in your peace...
Amen.

You dwell in the songs that we are singing,
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart.
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between our frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart
And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God,
I wanna rest in You
Oh, speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me,
whisper in the dark, the dark.
'Cause I know You're more than my salvation
Without you I am hopeless, tell me who You are
You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart
And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You,
Oh
I wanna rest in You
Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry
Still my heart, hold me close
Let me hear, a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry
And I am restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, let me rest in You
And I am restless, so restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You,
Oh God
Let me rest in You.
