NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 5/27

Sometimes, Lord, I miss your signs, 

    I miss your cues and signals,

I miss your tapping on my shoulder

    and your spirit, 

        moving in my mind and heart...

 

Sometimes in the dry and wizened brambles

    of my day-to-day existence

I miss the branch that's slowly turning,

    showing color, budding

when the promise of your springtime

    stirs to life within my soul...

 

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    to all the subtle ways 

you reveal yourself around me

    and in the hidden pockets 

        of my soul's imagination...

 

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    lest I miss the ways 

        your grace begins to bud

where I live, where I work and where I play,

    in all my comings and my goings...

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    to the spring you offer all year 'round

in every season, night and day,

    when I need to know you're near...

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    when I've closed them tight 

in loneliness, in doubt and fear,

    in anger or self-pity...

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    to all the ways you show yourself,

in every glimmer, glance and glimpse I have

    of you right by my side...

 

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    to every door you open wide,

inviting me to come, to see,

    to gaze upon and revel in your glory...

 

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

    and open the eyes in my head

to recognize and see your face

    in everyone I know and meet...

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

    open the eyes of my soul,

I want to see you, meet and know you

    every time you show yourself  to me...

 

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.

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

open the eyes of my heart;

I want to see you, I want to see you. (4 X)

 

To see you high and lifted up,

shining in the light of your glory.

Pour out your pow'r and love,

as we sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy."  (2 X)

 

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,

open the eyes of my heart:

I want to see you, I want to see you. (2 X)

 

To see you high and lifted up,

shining in the light of your glory.

Pour out your pow'r and love,

as we sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy." (2 X)

 

You are holy, holy, holy  

holy, holy, holy,

I want to see you,

holy, holy, holy,

you are holy, holy, holy, 

I want to see you...
