Lyrics
EVENING PRAYER
VERSE:
As the twilight falls, the evening sings to me with one voice --
And I contemplate just how today I used my choice -
Did I take a stand
To reveal who I truly am?
Or did I let the world win? Did I give in?
Can I find strength within
Once more to begin?
VERSE:
As the nighttime comes, the moon and all the stars shine their light --
And I think of all the things throughout my day that went right --
Oh I know I'll never be the perfect one
But let me more often than not
Be my Higher One
Let me not give in
Let me find strength within
Once more to begin
BRIDGE:
So I turn my thoughts to those around me,
Everyone I have ever known -- friends and family.
If we're hurting now,
May I forgive them and they forgive me.
I'm praying that each of their lives be expressing their greatest blessing.
And I give thanks for the whole world
Sending thoughts that the Highest Good
Take place everywhere for everybody -- synchronistically.
VERSE:
As I close my eyes, the crickets' chirping lulls me to sleep --
I have asked that solutions come to me from the deep --
For my dreams bring me my answers by the dawn,
I wake up to surrender to my Highest One
So I don't give in
So I find strength within Once more to begin.
