To Rise and Rest

Lord Let my rising and sleeping in the morning to evening, bring glory to you alone.

Have my heart set on you, and every day hold me up,

Carry me forth through the day, that with you all things will fall into place.

I put my trust in the Lord, walk my ways, with all you said.

To Serve as it is to serve the Lord,

Stay my tongue and discipline it, that praises and curses do not come forth the same way.

For my plans are nothing, if you are not in it.

My Life is useless in my own hands,

Take it and let me walk in your ways, your plans, always.

For Darkness may seem to become prominent, But for as dark as the night gets,

the Brighter the Light shines, peirceing through the deepest parts,

consume me Lord,

With your light.

For you are the one that said, I will uphold you with my right hand,

For you are the one who says I know the plans I have for you, plans not to harm you but to give you a hope and a future.

For you are the one who says, I am the way the Truth and the Life.

You are the one who has defeated this world.

Victory is in your hands! Victory is always yours for the battle is yours!
