Here’s a beautiful prayer suitable for use during Advent or at other times. It was written by John Birch and posted on his Faith and Worship website.
You Break In
Into the daily cycle of our lives
When all seems well
With us and with the world
When our yoke is easy
And the burden light
You break in
And scatter our complacency
When all seems well
With us and with the world
When our yoke is easy
And the burden light
You break in
And scatter our complacency
Into the daily cycle of our lives
When we are comfortable
And at our ease
When the fire is lit
But eyes are closed
You break in
And challenge our dependency
When we are comfortable
And at our ease
When the fire is lit
But eyes are closed
You break in
And challenge our dependency
You break into
Our daily prayers
Humble hearts
Lay souls bare
You break in
You break in
You break in
When defenses are down
With an Angel's shout
Or the quietest sound
You break in
You break in
Our daily prayers
Humble hearts
Lay souls bare
You break in
You break in
You break in
When defenses are down
With an Angel's shout
Or the quietest sound
You break in
You break in
And we change
And all things change
When you break in
And all things change
When you break in
