The Night

The Night

A Poem by Donald Cole
"

There was a time that God would wake me at 3 am every night. Then He stopped.

"

Here comes the night again God

I'm not quite yet in Bed

I'm thinking of You, as You'd have me to

Can't get You out of my head

No, I'm not complaining Lord

It's just hard to wait til 3

Bless my sleep, my soul to keep

Til I find You here to wake me

I'm hoping to hear Your voice Lord

Or even to feel that nudge from You

Father, give me a heart to listen

To hear Your voice come through

I ask to always be teachable

Please keep me in Your will

And when my mind takes over

Teach my heart to be still

Grant me a little wisdom

When I don't know what to do

If I have to make a choice God

Let my choice be a reflection of You

And when it is I'm feeling lost

You, God will be my guide

But when I'm not sure what I am feeling

Lord, give me strength not to hide

May I live in Your wisdom

Please take my life from me

Above all let my life reflect

Living, with my God, within me.

 

God I wake up humbled

For that's not my time like before

I give that time to You Lord

Then I started expecting more

And I seek You in each day

When You are already here

Please, give me that heart to listen

To always feel You near.

Don C.
