NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 5/6

I know so many people who wonder, Lord, 

   who wonder 

      where you are, where you've gone;

   who wonder

      if you've left us on our own;

   who wonder 

      if you've abandoned or forgotten us...

 

So many people, Lord...

 

Oh, in our heart of hearts we know

   you're always present

but sometimes it seems you've disappeared

   and, then we wonder...

 

In our prayer we trust

   you never leave us helpless

but sometimes it seems you're just not listening

   and, then we wonder...

 

In our faith we believe

   you never turn away from us

but sometimes we simply cannot find you

   and, then we wonder...

Encourage our hearts, then, Lord:

   hear our prayer and deepen our faith

so that even when, sometimes,

   we don't know where you are

we'll but wonder at your mystery

   'til once again we find you,

        - you who never leave our side...

 

Help us remember and never forget

   that we are not alone,

that you are with us, Lord,

   and we are never alone...

 

Protect us, Lord, while we're awake

    and watch over us when we sleep

that awake, we might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

We are not alone, we are not alone,
    we are not alone: God is with us…

We are never alone, for God is with us. 

We, we are never alone, for God is with us.

Now, through all our days, always.

Forever and ever:

we are never alone.

We are not alone, we are not alone,
    we are not alone: God is with us…

And God will make us strong, 

for God is with us. 

We, we will press on, for God is with us.

Now, through all our days, always. 

Forever and ever,

we are never alone.

We are not alone, we are not alone,
    we are not alone: God is with us…

Our God is with us now…
