A Prayer the Night Brings
Give me a home far away,
Where a moment of rest is always nigh.
Take me away to stay,
Where commonplace is a peaceful sigh .
Abandoning a world of chaos,
A burden thrown off my back,
A duty that is strung taught, a lost toss;
Free from the webs of gruesome task.
Grant me strength to face another day
Be my guiding light and straighten my path
My fears I pray would now fade away,
As I look to you in perseverance, seeking faith.
Teach me to live life, to love, to fight, to dream
To savor moments both tedious and beautiful
Tears in joy, wistful sighs in sorrow and yet serene;
Content to live for you, in all I do staying faithful.
Guide me Oh Lord, Consume my being, from the depths
Let my fears give way to your strength
Give me your eyes that I may be really seeing,
Give me your love, your light shining from within.
