Sept.14.00: Light For The Day - "Song Without Noise"

-- Psalms 42:8 (RSV)

and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life."

"Song Without Noise"

O sweet and loving God
When I stay asleep too long,
Oblivious to all your many blessings,
Then, please, wake me up,
And sing to me your joyful song.
It is a song without noise or notes.
It is a song of love beyond words,
Of faith beyond the power of human telling.
I can hear it in my soul,
When you awaken me to your presence.

-- Mechthild of Magdeburg
-----------------
-- Psalm 28:7
"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I give thanks to him."
