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 and 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.
