Thought
Be alert as thoughts stream in
Aware of every passing sin.
Burn mind’s lamp night and day
Keep vigil as you watch and pray
When the Lord appears disguised
Be sure that He is recognised
And mindful of your own demise
Keep vigil in each enterprise
Each life is like a candle flame
Oblivious of from whence it came
Lit and fuelled till wind snuffs out
Keep vigil to know what it’s about
As soul’s darkness fades to grey
And leading light announces day
Keenly watch that silent hour
Keep vigil over kingdom’s power
Prayer
O Leading Light fix my mind on thee that my attention may not stray. Lead me out of the darkness of the desert to the light of thy kingdom. Fix my heart on thine as yours is fixed on me. You move these limbs of this earth car for thy glory alone.
