NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 9/21

Evening's upon us, Lord:

    time to turn another page 

        in this chapter of my life...

We all have a story, Lord,

    the story we're writing and living and telling...

 

Part of my story's an open book

    - casual observers can take a look;

 but much of my tale is only known

    by those who've shared in its living

who've helped in writing a chapter or two

    now stored in the archives, deep in my heart.... 

 

I'm grateful for all who are part of my saga,

    my narrative's characters, major and minor,

its many heroes and occasional villains, 

    who've made of my life the story it is...

And then, of course, there's you, my God:

    you know my story by chapter and verse;

you even know my story's end,

    - still an unfolding mystery to me...

 

I'm grateful to you, my Author divine:

    you know my whole story

        - but still love me freely

    you read my dark chapters

        - but always with mercy

    you know all my plot twists

        - and walk through them with me...

 

Like a book you read me

    but never lose interest

- to even the dull parts

    you pay full attention...

 

You're my editor, critic,

    mentor and muse,

my biographer, narrator,

    Holy ghostwriter... 

And more than all that, Lord,

    you've written, you've woven,

you've threaded your love story,

    one with my own...

My book was conceived in your heart, O Lord,

    your fingerprints warm its every page:

I pray my story will end in you,

    with an epilogue, peace, 

        the sequel of grace...,

 

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.

 

My Story by Big Daddy Weave

If I told you my story
You would hear hope, that wouldn't let go
And if I told you my story
You would hear love that never gave up

And if I told you my story
You would hear life, but it wasn't mine

 
If I should speak, then let it be of the grace
That is greater than all my sin

Of when justice was served, and where mercy wins!
Of the kindness of Jesus, that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story, is to tell of Him

 

If I told you my story, 

you would hear victory over the enemy
And if I told you my story, you would hear freedom
That was won for me

 

And if I told you my story, 

you would hear life overcome the grave
If I should speak, then let it be of the grace
That is greater than all my sin

Of when justice was served, and where mercy wins!
Of the kindness of Jesus, that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story, is to tell of Him

 

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my savior, all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my savior, all the day long

 

For the grace that is greater, than all my sin
Of when justice was served, and when mercy wins!
Of the kindness of Jesus, that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story, is to tell

Of the grace that is greater, than all my sin
Of when justice was served, and when mercy wins!
Of the kindness of Jesus, that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story, is to tell of Him
Oh to tell you my story, is to tell of Him

 

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my savior, all the day long
