Watches of the Night

My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,

that I may meditate on your promise.

Psalm 119:148

With a burdened heart

I cannot rest

yet I know and believe

God will do the best

If I cannot sleep

I will pray

calling out to my God

at the end of my day

Throughout the night

with open eyes

I cry to my Lord

Who hears my sighs

I pour out my heart

to the God Who is there

for I know by faith

He hears all my prayer

I seek peace when I pray

I long for His touch

to comfort my heart

that God loves so much

And I find a small echo

returns again to me

a comforting word that

I soon begin to see

God promises to hear me

He has power to save

and I believe this truth

and the answer He gave

I then trust in His promise

with all of my might

as He has called me close to Him

in the watches of the night
