NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 1/27

Slow me down, Lord, close my eyes
   and open my heart to your presence...

You're here with me right now, Lord,
   waiting to spend time with me, 
   ready to hear me out,
   wanting to whisper a word of peace...

You're here with me right now,
   waiting to strengthen me,
   ready to encourage me,
   wanting to console me...

You're here with me right now,
   waiting to calm me down,
   ready to lift me up,
   wanting to help me get through this day...

You're here with me right now,
   waiting to hold me,
   ready to guide me,
   wanting to lead me...

You're here with me right now:
   waiting, ready and wanting
      to help me be present to you;
   waiting, ready and wanting 
       to hear and hold the prayer of my heart 
       - now, Lord, right now...

Slow me down, Lord, close my eyes
   and open my heart to your presence...

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...

 

Slow me down, Lord, close my eyes
   and open my heart to your presence... 

 

Amen.

Slow me down, Lord

Oh, I am tired, Lord,

you gotta slow me down

oh, will you help me, Lord 

 

    Slow me down, oh Lord

    you gotta slow me down, O Lord

    I said, slow me down, slow me down,

    I'm not ready for the judgement day

    Oh, can you hear me, Lord?

    You gotta slow me down 

Ain't got time to think and pray

I need to pray before the judgment day

Time is running out they say

I gotta slow down, slow down 

Help, Lord, slow me down

Oh, can you hear me, Lord?

You gotta slow me down!

    Slow me down, oh Lord

    you gotta slow me down, O Lord

    I said, slow me down, slow me down,

    I'm not ready for the judgement day

    Oh, can you hear me, Lord?

    You gotta slow me down!  

 

Can you hear me, Lord?

You gotta slow me down...
