in the dawn...
keep me awake, O Lord
keep me awake
I want to see You
and sing to You a hymn of praise and honor
Lord, our Good Shepherd,
may You find me
because I am lost and weak
but I really long for You and Your Love
Cleanse me O Lord and grant me your mercy
to come near, closer to You
My sin is ever before me
and I am ashamed
Lord, heal me and restore me
so that I might gaze upon Your Beauty in awe
and Your faithfulness and deliverance
shall be in my heart and mouth
Lord, how great and trembling it is
to follow behind You
in the steps of Your Holy Feet
Joy! Joy! Joy!
even the way is narrow
and the thorn bushes along the side
but gazing upon Your Humility and Love,
strengthens us and comforts us
in the day light...
May your blessing be upon us
teach us and guide us with Your commandments
to walk patiently in the rocky, stony roads
Lead me in the Beautiful path among the loving brothers and sisters, Your rational flock
those through whom You also manifest Your Love
may we be united in one voice, mind and spirit
to glorify You, our Master!
and to love our neighbors
In the night...
let us rest and take shelter in You
because You are our Only Joy!
Keep me awake,
keep me awake O Lord,
that I may sing to You
in fervent Joy that comes from You!
Good morning, Yudhie! Thank you for praying for us!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, if I have your prayers, then I am truly a blessed man, Yudhie.
ReplyDeletePray for me.
Thanks brother Romanos, David! What is sweeter than the honey of God's praise? It is the Lord Who let His unworthy servant taste and rejoice. God is with us :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYudhie, you asked for me to share a few things about FOCUS...
We are a very small, but close group of mainly Greek Orthodox students at UNSW (a core group of 6) who meet every week on Tuesdays to discuss our faith. Our schedule is on our blog, in the right hand side column.
We only became an official 'society' recognised by the university last year, so FOCUS is still in its infancy. But thank God we have a chaplain who comes when he can.
It is a struggle trying to get other Orthodox students to our meetings, but we try to do our best with stalls on Open day etc.
As you would see in my last post, Sydney University has an Orthodox fellowship too.
Please pray for us.
Pandelis
Thanks for sharing this good news, Pandelis. Glory to God :)! My humble prayers be with you all :)! Please pray also for us, brothers and sisters in Indonesia.
