Prayer

of the week

I Will Turn

Lord, I will turn, Turn my face towards you. I will lay before you the desert areas 

I hideAnd turn to soak in your refreshing words of life.

I will cast aside the barren, selfish pursuits

And turn to rest in the tranquil warmth of your love.

I will draw back from the harsh pull of media

And turn to bathe in the gentle power of your Spirit.

Lord, today I turn my face towards you.

I will turn To soak in your words of life,

To rest in the warmth of your love,

And to bathe in the power of your Spirit.
