NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 10/20

So, what was up today, Lord?

 

Were you teasing me? 

Or treating me with

with sunny blue skies,

ribbons of lacy clouds,

temps in the balmy 70's, 

all on October 20? 

 

Treating me? Teasing me?

Enticing, even tempting me

with just the gifts you know I miss:

the blessings of a season fading,

falling from its branches to the ground,

leaving me to trust in you 'til all around me 

nature once again reveals 

your power and your peace, 

your presence deep within...

Whatever was your plan today,

keep teasing me and treating me,

tempting and enticing me to trust in you,

in your faithful, gentle care...

Though changing seasons cloud my hope

and shroud my faith in you, Lord,

still I believe, from deep within, 

that all things shall be well:

that with your grace and in your time,

that all things shall be well...

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.

All Shall Be Well by Andrew Peterson

 

We touched down on the sound 


At the top of the world 


In the land of the midnight sun 


Where the frozen river melts away 


And breaks into a run 

Into the sea, into the mighty waves 


That waited just to see it 


From a long way off that river thawed 


And the tide ran out to meet it 


"Welcome home, unfrozen river, welcome home" 



 

'Cause all shall be well, all shall be well 


Break the chains of the gates of Hell 


Still all manner of things will be well 



 

See the quiet hearts of the children of 


The children of this land 


They have stayed alive in the day-long night 


By the fires that warm their hands 


There is a wilderness inside them 


It is dark and thick and deep 


And beside the fire at the heart of that wood 


Is a precious missing sheep 


So go on in, hold your torch, let it shine 



 

'Cause all shall be well, all shall be well 


Break the chains of the gates of Hell 


Still all manner of things will be well 


All shall be well, all shall be well 


The Word of God will never fail 


And all manner of things will be well 



 

There's a light in the darkness 


There's an end to the night 



There's a light in the darkness 


There's an end to the night 



There's a light in the darkness 
 

 

I saw the sun go down on a frozen ocean 


As the man in the moon was rising 


And he rode the night all full and bright 


With his face at the far horizon 


And the night can be so long, so long 


You think you'll never get up again 


But listen now, it's a mighty cloud of 


Witnesses around you—they say 


"Hold on, just hold on 


Hold on to the end 
And all shall be well"

All shall be well
Break the chains of the gates of Hell 


Still all manner of things will be well 


All shall be well, all shall be well 


The Word of God will never fail 


And all manner of things will be well
