NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 10/8


How different my day would be, O  Lord,
    if only I trusted the joy you find
        in the person you made me to be...

How pure and free my heart would be,
    if only I opened my soul to you,
        to the waves of mercy's tides...

How firm would be my faith, O Lord
    if only I humbly believed:
        you laid down your life - for me...

How high my spirits would rise and soar
    if only I deeply trusted, Lord:
        all manner of things shall be well...
 
How truly holy my life would be
    if only I trusted your gentle touch
        to heal my every hurt...

How much lighter the burdens I carry, Lord,
    if only I welcomed the help you offer
        through family, strangers and friends...

If only I'd listen, if only I'd learn
    to live in the truth of your word, O Lord,
        to grow in your mercy and grace...

Protect me, Lord as I lie awake
    and watch over me while I sleep,
that awake, I might keep the watch with you
    and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

If Only We Knew by Unspoken
 
 
     
We have tasted the sweetness of your kindness 
Caught a glimpse of your glory in the sun 
And the promise in your word it still reminds us 
There are greater, greater things to come 
 
If we only knew 
How deep the ocean of your love 
How powerful every drop of blood 
How much it cost to rescue us 
If we only knew 
How far the East is from the West 
How we are clothed in righteousness 
How strong the hands that conquered death 
If we only knew 
 
God your peace is beyond our understanding 
Tender mercy like a river flowing through 
You wait with patient arms to hold us 
Desperate for the chance to show us 
All we really need is you! 
 
We are only scratching the surface
We are barely knocking on the door
We are only scratching the surface of your goodness
We are barely knocking on the door 
And you long to show us more
 
If we only knew 
How deep the ocean of your love 
How powerful every drop of blood 
How much it cost to rescue us 
If we only knew 
How far the East is from the West 
How we are clothed in righteousness 
How strong the hands that conquered death 
If we only knew
We are daughters and sons, held in your arms
We are, we are, daughters and sons
Adopted and loved by you
