NIGHT PRAYER: Thursday 1/22


It's curious, isn't it?

I'm always on your mind, Lord,
    even when I've forgotten you...

Though I ignore and snub you,
    you never turn your face from me...
 
When I pull back, resisting you, 
    you offer me your warm embrace...
 
You're at the end of every road 
    I take to run away from you...

You make your home within me
    though I've locked my heart's front door...

You listen to my every word
    though silent I may be...

You come to mend and heal me
    when I deny my wounds...

You empty out your self for me
    when I'm filled with self-pity...

You never give up loving me
    though I give up on love...

Your mercy's deeper than my sins,
    my guilt drowns in its shallows...

Your grace is always there for me
    when from your face I turn...

Without you I have nothing, Lord,
    and all I have is yours...

It's all very curious, isn't it? 
Oh, yes - indeed, it is!
 
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.

I tried to hide in the dark of night, 
but you saw my soul in your perfect light. 
Caught in the storm, couldn't find my way. 
Then you swept in, pushed the clouds away.

Oh God, you always know what's good in me.
You see the root beneath my shaky tree. 
When I get lost, you guide me where to go. 
Your love's the compass. 
In you I grow. I grow.
 
Some days I stumble, my steps unsure, 
but your grace lifts me, it's a love so pure. 
In every shadow, in every fight, 
you're the anthem bursting through my night.

Chorus

 
When the world spins, I can barely stand. 
You take my heart and hold it in your hand. 
No doubt or struggle, no mountains too steep; 
your whispers, my heart, my soul, you keep.

Chorus
