A Concord Pastor Comments: NGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 11/23

Of all I have, Lord,
all's a gift
from your heart and hand
to mine...

My being, my life,
my heart and my soul,
my mind's best thoughts
- all are your gifts to me...

My family and friends,
the roof above me, the food on my table,
my freedom to speak my faith
- all are your gifts to me...
My talents and skills,
my dreams and ideas,
intuition and creativity
- all of these, gifts from your hand...
My faith and my trust,
my passion and love,
my joy and my strength
- all are your gifts to me...

My desire for truth,
my hunger for peace,
my thirst for lasting, deep joy
- all are your gifts to me..,
Nothing I have is all my own.
all's on loan from you to me,
given to me to give away,
to share with any and all in need...
Of all I have, Lord,
all's a gift
from your heart and hand
to mine...
For all I've received,
I thank you, Lord,
and for all I have,
I offer you praise:
Giver of every good gift...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake,
and watch over my sleep tonight
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

All Is Gift by Luke Spehar

What do I have that has not been given to me?

What do I have that is just my own?

When all vain pride is gone I see

that all is gift to me, given freely.

Now from my mother my body was taken,

my father too that's how I was made.

Creator's breath blew into this dust:

withdraw your love, Lord, I would go away.

What do I have that has not been given to me,

all my strength, clever wit or strong might?

Though I can choose what to do with all that I have,

the ability is no work of mine
