NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 8/2

I come to you, Lord,

    with my heart sometimes ready

    and sometimes not ready at all...

I come to you, Lord,

    to trust you, love you and follow you;

to do what you ask of me

    and go where you lead me

        wherever that might be...

My worries and burdens, my problems

    loom larger than life 

and back me into corners

    where I feel alone and wonder 

        where you've brought me,

        where you'll lead me...

And sometimes, Lord,

    I wonder, I worry,

        "Are you still with me?" 

 
I need a dream, Lord:

    send me an angel, 

    send me a message,

    whisper a word in my heart 

and remind me

    to believe, to trust, to hope in you...

All day long and even in my sleep, 

    remind me, Lord

        that with you I can face all things,

        accept all things, 

        endure all things...

Especially when my nights and days

    are spun around and upside down;

        when my sense of direction fails me;

        when I fear the path I walk,

remind me then, Lord, to be not afraid

    but to trust that with you by my side

        I'm ready for whatever may come...

I come to you, Lord,

    with a heart sometimes ready

        and sometimes not ready at all

but, ready or not 

    here I come,

    here I am,

    here I stand

seeking your mercy and peace,

    in need of your love and your strength...

 

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.

 

Ready or not - let's sing!

Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, here I am
Oh, Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, Lord I 'm ready here I stand

Lay your hand upon me so that I may be free
Let Thy Holy Spirit fall on me
Cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me

Lord, I'm ready... I'm ready...

 

Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, here I am
Oh, Lord I'm ready to receive your grace
Lord I'm ready, Lord I 'm ready here I stand

 

Lay your hand upon me so that I may be free
Let Thy Holy Spirit fall on me
Cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me 

 

Said I am ready,

Yes, I am ready...

Oh, oh, oh,

Let thy Spirit fall on me

Oh, cleanse me from unrighteousness
and fill me with your holiness
let thy Holy Spirit fall on me

Said I am ready
I am ready here

Standing at a throne

Kneeling down before you

Ready to receive 

I am ready

Just to wait on you

Bow down before you

I am ready, Lord

Bow down before you

Standing at the altar

Arms stretched out

To receive your love, grace,

peace, joy

Oh, I'm ready, Lord,

I'm ready now...
