My Prayers At Night
Lord,
Can I see your face tonight?
Will you be my companion
When no one else is in sight?
Will you come to me
Perhaps in a dream,
And tell me of your will for me?
Lord, help me to understand your ways,
I want to know you for eternity
And not just for today.
Lord, can you heal the world
And make us new?
Can you shut out evil
So we can be with you?
I can see myself now
At your pearly gates,
Waiting just to see your face.
I will lift my hand
And shout your name,
“Here I am!” I will say.
Lord! Lift me up where I belong,
Live in my heart and make me strong.
I think of you
Each moment of each day,
And I pray thee Lord
Take me away.
Show me your wonders!
Show me your grace!
Show me dear Lord,
Your gentle face.
