NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 1/6

Here's my adaptation of some old Celtic verse that used to be prayed in the morning when stirring up the embers on the hearth from the previous night's fire. 

Lord, when my trust is only dust 

and my confidence in ashes:

    stir the embers of my faith...

When I've lost the breath 

to fan the dying cinders back to flame:

    stir the embers of my hope...

When it seems my fire's out 

and all the coals have now gone cold:

    stir the embers of my love... 

 Stir the embers of my heart, Lord,

    into flames of love for you
and for my family, for my neighbor

    and for all who are my foe... 

 

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.

Stir the embers of my heart 

Burn away all that is not Yours 

Fan the fire, keep it bright 

Steal away all I've claimed as mine 

I'm Yours
yeah, I'm Yours

Save me from myself, here as I am 

Call me forward from where I stand

Stir the embers of my heart 

Burn away all that is not Yours 

Fan the fire, keep it bright 

Steal away all I've claimed as mine
I'm Yours
yeah, I'm Yours

Save me from myself, here as I am 

Call me forward from where I stand

Spread wide this fire 'till all I can see 

Exalted Jesus living in me: I'm Yours 

 

Steal away all I've claimed 

Fan the flames of You in me 

Steal away all I've claimed 

And fan the flames
