NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 11/30

The last day of November, Lord,

then but one month left before the turn of the year

and 2020 is history...

It's been quite a year, Lord:

one not without its blessings

but heavy laden with its burdens...

 

And where I live, November's parting shot

has come with rain and howling winds

beating on my windows, roof and walls

but I will choose this night, Lord,

the shelter of your heart

as refuge for my prayer...

 

No storm can shake my inmost calm

while to your side, I'm clinging;

since you are Lord of heaven and earth,

how can I keep from singing?

 

Protect me, Lord, through the storm this night

and watch over me as I sleep

that awake I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

 

How Can I Keep From Singing by MAS Vocal

 

My life flows on in endless song;

Above earth's lamentation,  

I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn  

That hails a new creation  

 

Through all the tumult and the strife,  

I hear that music ringing 

It finds an echo in my soul  

How can I keep from singing?  

 

What though my joys and comforts die?

I know my Savior liveth  

What though the darkness gather round?  

Songs in the night he giveth  

 

No storm can shake my inmost calm  

While to that refuge clinging  

Since love is lord of heaven through 

 How can I keep from singing?  

 

I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin  

I see the blue above it  

And day by day this pathway smooths, 

 Since first I learned to love it
