NIGHT PRAYER: Saturday 1/10

O Lord, with such divine artistry 

did you fashion the human heart!

It's dimensions are quite defined

and yet my heart can hold what seems 

an infinite number of

    joys and sorrows, stories and memories,

    hurts and healings, dreams and schemes,

    regrets and disappointments 

    tragic endings and hope-filled new beginnings...

 

On one day, Lord, this heart of mine

can bear the weight of burdens unimaginable

and one day later -soar and float,

a feather on a summer breeze... 

My heart has no eyes and yet 

it sees what can't be seen, 

what's hidden, eternal and mysterious...

 

My heart has no arms or hands 

and yet it reaches out, touches and embraces

more than I could ever hope to hold...

My heart has no ears and yet

it hears a word you whisper

and the truth you speak aloud...

 

And sometimes, Lord, my heart closes in,

struggling in vain to hide from you

0r worse, to keep you out

- but then comes grace -

and grace reveals, inside my soul, a place

great enough, wide enough,

deep enough for you, my God,

to come and make your home...

My small heart has room for you, Lord,

and for many others, more than I can count:

family, friends, strangers - brothers, sisters all -

tapping, knocking on my heart's door 

seeking a place to rest, to visit, 

a place to call their own for a while, 

for an evening, a day, for a lifetime,

- forever...

O God, with such divine artistry 

did you fashion the human heart,

my heart, beating in my chest

and even deeper, in my soul,

in my heart of hearts 

where you, my Maker,

choose to make your home...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me when I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

 

Make Room In My Heart

If my heart can make a home 

Then as long as I am able 

I will make it Yours alone 

If my praise can build a throne 

Then as long as I am breathing 

You will be the cornerstone

 

I make room in my heart 

I make room in my heart 

I make room in my heart for You 

Let the world fade away 

Let your spirit invade 

I make room in my heart for You 

 

Every idol hit the ground 

Cause there’s only space for Jesus 

When He clears the temple out 

So turn the tables upside down 

This is my surrender 

Only one king to be crowned 

 

Push back the unbelief 

Push back anxiety 

Tear down the shame 

In Jesus name 

Don’t stop until You’re done 

God let your kingdom come 

Forever reign in Jesus name 

 

Be the king of my heart 

Be the king of my heart 

Be the king of my heart, Jesus 

The first name on my lips 

The one reason I live 

Be the king of my heart Jesus
