NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 6/26

As the sun sets, Lord,
   and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
   and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
   how'd I spend my day?

What words of mine now echo
   in the hearts of friends and family?

What assistance did I offer
   to others in their need?

What time did I spend
   alone, with you, in prayer?

What comfort did I give
    in healing, grace and mercy?

What openness was mine
   to the gifts you sent my way?

What steps did I take
   to reconcile with others?

What silence did I seek
   to listen for your voice?

What effort did I make
   to accept my neighbor's help?

What risk did I take
  to be loyal to my faith?

What time did I spend
   just for others, not for me?

What peace might now be mine
   because I walked this day with you?

As the sun sets, Lord,
   and evening breezes stir;
when clouds begin to disappear
   and darkness settles in
I'm wondering:
   how'd I spend my day?

 

 Protect me, Lord, as I lie awake,

   and watch over me as I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

   and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

 

There Is No Greater Love

There is no greater love, says the Lord,
than to lay down your life for a friend;
There is no greater love, no greater love,
than to lay down your life for a friend.

1. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. 

    Live on in my love ...

2. All this I tell you that my joy may be yours 

    and your joy may be complete ...

3. You are my friends if you keep my commands; 

    no longer slaves but friends to me ...

4. It was not you who chose me, it was I who chose you, 

    chose you to go forth and bear fruit ...
