NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 5/22

I've been reading through my notes from my retreat and came across these thoughts on my desire to be held in the Lord's arms...

 

Hold me, Jesus,

    hold me in your arms!

 

Hold me close and hold me tight...

 

Hold me warm and hold me strong...

 

Hold me long and gently...

 

Hold me, Lord, 

    and rock me in your arms...

 

Hold and dance me close 

    in your embrace...

Hold me with a lover's passion... 

Hold me like a nursing mother...

 

Hold me like you really mean it!

 

Hold me fast and don't let go...

 

Hold my hand when I'm afraid...

 

Hold me up when I'm bowed down...

 

Hold me back when I am tempted...

 

Hold me still when I am restless...

 

Hold me safe when I'm afraid...

 

Hold me snuggled in your hug... 

 

Hold me 'til I fall asleep

   and hold, Lord, 'til I awake

      forever in your arms... 

Hold me, Lord, this night:

    hold me always and forever...

 

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.

Hold Me Up

Lord, you promised there'd be nothing 

That we couldn't make it through 

And in my heart I know Your Word is true 

It's just these waters that I'm sailing through 

Right now are mighty rough 

Could you wrap me in Your arms 

And hold me up? 

 

Hold me up so I can sing 

I've been trying hard to fly 

But I can't find my wings 

I am traveling through a time 

When all I have is not enough 

I need to hear Your voice 

And feel Your touch 

Could you wrap me in Your arms 

And hold me up? 

 

Lord, I know I'm not the only one 

Whose heart is hurting now 

There are others, Lord, 

Who need to feel Your power 

And if anyone knows how we feel, 

Lord, we know it's You 

So please come and do what only You can do 

 

Hold us up so we can sing 

We've been trying hard to fly 

But we can't find our wings 

We are traveling through a time 

When all we have is not enough 

We need to hear Your voice 

And feel Your touch 

Could you wrap us in Your arms 

And hold us up? 

I am traveling through a time 

When all I have is not enough 

I need to hear Your voice 

And feel Your touch 

Could you wrap me in Your arms 

And hold me up?
