Guard the Night

Sometimes we grow tired. The life that we think we should have gets in our way and slows us down. Sometimes we fall "asleep at the wheel" and our life seems to go by on auto-pilot. I've often wondered when we live our life like this what God is thinking and to be honest we can't really be sure. I do know that God has often preserved the lives of those who have not yet realized His plan for their lives so that when they "wake up" He can work through them and do amazing things. In our darkest hours when we have lost all hope and sight of Him, God is still there whether we acknowledge it or not. My hope and prayer is that we "wake up" to His plan before it is too late. That is my inspiration for this:

Guard the Night

 

I see you slowing down

Your legs are getting weak

Your words have fallen quiet

Your lips no longer speak

If you cannot go on

Then stop and rest a bit

But don’t forget to wake

When the sunrise hits

 

Close your tired eyes; lay down your weary head

And I will guard the night

 

I see you’re wavering

Your heart no longer seeks

Your fire has grown cold

Your path is looking bleak

Oh, listen to my voice

I want to help you through

But if you push me out

There’s nothing I can do

 

Close your tired eyes; lay down your weary head

And I will guard the night

Here comes daybreak

Here comes sunrise

Oh, Wake my child

Rise up my Child
 

Open up your eyes; shake your groggy head

The day and hour has come

The moon has turned blood red

Time is growing short

You must keep pressing on

And I will guide with light
