NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 4/30

What a joy it is Lord,

   when I finally do

      just the right thing,

      at just the right time,

      for just the right person,

      in just the right way,

      for just the right reason…

 

And likewise, Lord,

   when you move me to say

      just the right thing,

      at just the right time,

      to just the right person, 

      in just the right way,

      for just the right reason...

      

What a boon, what a blessing,

   what a gracious gift:

      serendipity, surely divine!

 

Oh, that such moments

   would come every day,

      might happen more often than not

           - but I wonder, Lord -

   are they rare because

      my self-absorbed ways

   spoil and foil the moments of grace

      you offer me all the time?

 

I suspect it's my fault - not yours, O Lord,

   so I’m praying tonight for the wisdom I need

          - to get out of the way -

   when your hand is preparing

      the path and the moments

        for times of such grace and blessing…

 

Oh, how often, Lord, do I miss the signs 

   when you're doing

      just the right thing,

      at just the right time,

      in just the right way,

      for just the right reason,

      for just the right person

         - for me...

 

How often am I simply not listening, Lord,

   when you speak just the word I need to hear;

how often am I preoccupied, Lord

   when you do just thing I need to see,

when you move in my life

   at just the right time

   for just the right reason,

revealing your strength, your healing and care

   in just the right way

      -  just for me...

 

How often, Lord, do I totally miss you:

   right by my side,

   with the help I need,

      in the way I need it,

      at just the right time,

      in moments of grace

         - meant for me... 

 

I pray you’ll open my heart, Lord,

   so I never miss how you're always there

      in just the right place,

      in just the right way,

      for just the right reason,

      with just the right gift,

      at just the right time,

      - just for me...

 

For your moments of perfect timing, Lord,

   when my life’s in sync, in tune with yours

- for the times I didn’t get in your way -

   I offer my thanks and lift up my praise…

  

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

   and watch over me when I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

   and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

When I look back, I can see that
It's You who met my needs every time
Every moment, You were holding
Even the smallest details of my life
And I can testify

 

Oh, You never let me down
So I know You won't stop now

 

I may not know what tomorrow holds
But I know one thing for sure
Good Lord, I got a good Lord
And every day, every step of the way,

It's You who opened the door
Good Lord, I got a good Lord
Good Lord, I got a good Lord

 

It's still amazing, how You saved me
How You took a million wrongs

And made them right

Yeah, You made them right yeah
And it's crazy how You raised me

From six feet under shame
Back to life, and I gotta testify

 

Refrain

 

God is good

(all the time, all the time, God is good)
God is good

(all the time, all the time, all the time) 

oh, yeah
God is good, yeah, yeah

(all the time, all the time, all the time)
God is good, yeah, yeah

(all the time, all the time, all the time)
