BE MY SUSTAINING BREATH, GUARDIAN OF MY HEART

19 April 2018 - 3rd Thursday of Eastertide

---

A peaceful drive to school and back this morning - and blessed with thoughts for the day from a song and a BBC interview….

---

Find me a place on the earth where a weary man can rest and listen for your voice In the turning seasons.

A quiet place in the world where I can bow and confess that I fear where you have brought me, mysterious God

All of my life, you have been with me - my comfort in loneliness, my hope in the dark.  

All of my life, Lord, please stay with me, be my sustaining breath, Guardian of my heart.

My days are passing by like falling stars that blaze across the night sky, then they are gone.

Father, at your side, I will never be afraid, for you have held all my days in the palm of your hand

Lyrics from song: A Place on the Earth by Fernando Ortega

"It doesn’t matter if things are back and look very dark, you must believe that tomorrow will be a better day."

"You get used to a lot of things which you think you couldn’t get used to."

 

"Never give up hope.”
