terrahfaithmusings - Night Watch Lyrics

A warm summer sun said goodbye to the day
As it sinks into the darkness of rest
I lift my gaze to the golden light
As it beams across the hills
I felt so confident in the story I was writing
Sure of direction and end
But instead, left behind
Is the overwhelmed shell of the joy I once knew
I've felt this ache for so long
I don't know what it's like to feel whole
I don't need you to heal my soul
But Jesus keep watch through the night
For Shaper you hold all creation in world-loving arms
You are not a stranger to disappointment and pain
Enter into the vulnerability, Lord
Don't just take it away
Warm breezes blow loose strands of hair
Across my weary face
Grounding me to sense around
The darkness of night
Can I accept this pain of suspense and vulnerability
Will my mind stop running
Enough for this silence to speak
This circle of suffering, God
Starts and ends, with You
So through weeping I'm watching
My head's lifted up to the sky
Please quiet my soul giving way to stillness
Searching the heart of the Father
Don't take away the pain
Help me become beautifully weak
For You're love's sake, Father
Keep watch with me through the night
Keep watch with me through the night
