Evening Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Savior
Would You carry me to Daddy’s arms now?
I’m weary and needy, broken and empty
and I need everything his love is about
Need to run and escape this world a while
and its burdens that constantly weigh me down
Help me to rest a while tonight…

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Savior
Would You continue to walk by my side?
I’m stubborn and defiant, independent and not reliant
on the very bread and water You bring
Need to receive and consume what I need
to walk down this road and learn what it means
Help me to return to your side…

Daddy, Father God
Would You lift these burdens outright?
I’m fighting to survive, trying to stay alive
under the pressures of the world I feel bound
Need to sit and remember Your love
and Your freedom which breaks all chains around me now
Help me to find your light…

Daddy, Father God
Would You cradle me a while?
I’m tired and weak, slumping and defeated
because of my own flesh on which I rely
Need to relax and close my eyes
within Your arms your peace will always satisfy
Help me to rest a while tonight…
