On Sundays, Night Prayer will focus on an element from the day’s celebration of Mass. Tonight’s prayer follows from the first reading and the gospel from today’s mass and their teaching on life after death…
Because I believe you rose from the dead, Lord,
because I believe that you live forever;
because I believe you’ve promised me life
in a place you’ve made ready in heaven;
because I believe, through the gift of faith,
that in death life is changed not ended;
because I believe you’ve welcomed in mercy
the loved ones whose passing I sorely grieve;
because I believe that sadness will flee
and joy once again fill my heart,
because I believe you will raise me up,
I long for the life of the world to come….
Because I believe in the life you have promised:
I rise in the morning and sleep through the night,
I wait for your healing and trust it will come,
I pray through the tears you wipe from my face,
I have hope for the world and for peace to be made,
I trust in your pardon, forgiveness and mercy,
I walk my path knowing you’re at my side,
I lean on you both in good times and bad,
I walk in the darkness with my hand in yours,
I have no fear of what’s to come
for you are my way, my truth and my life,
my Redeemer, my Savior, my Lord…
Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…
I know that my Redeemer lives The One who calls me home I long to see God face to face To see with my own eyes
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again I know that my Redeemer lives, and I shall rise again
I know that I shall one day see The goodness of the Lord When God will wipe away our tears And death will be no more
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again I know that my Redeemer lives, and I shall rise again
The last day I shall rise again Shall be remade like God My home shall be by God’s own side The dying, rising Lord
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again
I know that my Redeemer lives, that I shall rise again
