Your Word

O lord let me learn in silence
Let me hear your word,
May you speak the living word.
Change my mind, change my heart
Renew me, restore me, remind me.

Steel my will to walk in obedience.
May my heart be at peace in following your word.
Let my mind grasp the power of your word.
Your word brings life to my being.
Without your word there is only existence.

Speak and I will listen.
Lead and I will follow.
Rest and I will be still.

Morning Praise

O Lord, in the morning I will praise your name.
Your grace and mercy are my constant companions.
Your Spirit goes before me and prepares my day.
I will bless your name.

My heart will sing your praise throughout the day.
Whether good or ill befall me, my song will rise to you.
May my words and actions declare your glory
to all who hear and see me.

When day ends I will rest in your peace.
For you and only you bring satisfaction.
You alone restore my body, mind and soul.
Even as my eyes close in sleep my heart rejoices in you.
