A Song To Share

A couple of days ago, while going through some CD's, I came across one I hadn't listened to for a while. I am so happy I chose to play it as background music while I worked in the house.

The following song is the last selection on Fernando Ortega's CD "Breaking Of The Dawn." It is called "Jesus, King Of Angels" and is a prayer that is all-encompassing. I found it to be such a comfort, and I hope you do, as well.

Jesus, King Of Angels

Jesus, King of angels, heaven's light,
Shine Your face upon this house tonight.
Let no evil come into my dreams;
Light of heaven, keep me in Your peace.

Remind me how You made dark spirits flee,
And spoke Your power to the raging sea.
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man;
Remind me, Jesus, this is what I am.

The universe is vast beyond the stars,
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls,
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me, and bind me . . . .

With all my heart I love You, Sovereign Lord.
Tomorrow, let me love You even more.
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep again.

The universe is vast beyond the stars,
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls,
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me, and bind me . . . .

Jesus, King of angels, heaven's light,
Hold my hand and keep me through this night.
