When the day begins

‘…‘I do not [make judgments] out of the narrowness of my experience, but in the largeness of the one who sent me…’
John 8: 14 – 18
God will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love…’
Zephaniah 3:17

Verse 1
When the day begins
Let the morning bring
Mercy melodies that feed my soul
When the evening comes
And the day is done
Father, quiet me with songs of love

Chorus
So I can know you
Hear what you say
So I can walk with you
To the places that need your grace

Verse 2
In my hopes and dreams
In everything I see
Your perception is the truth I need
In the things I do
All that I pursue
Thread your presence through the heart of me

Chorus
So I can know you
Hear what you say
So I can walk with you
To the places that need your grace,

Bridge
Lord I often trust in
What I see and what I touch
Let my choices rest in everything you are

Chorus
So I can know you
Hear what you say
So I can walk with you
To the places that need all that grace has achieved
For us

Chorus
So I can know you
Hear what you say
So I can walk with you
To the places that need your grace
To the places that need your grace
Father this is my prayer today

Another song that tries to connect my relationship with God in the quiet place with my experience in the everyday place

In John 8 there is an account where a woman [about to be sentenced to a cruel death] is brought to Jesus. It is his comments to the ones presiding in judgment over her that have recently challenged me and have become part of my conversations with God… …‘I do not [make judgments] out of the narrowness of my experience, but in the largeness of the one who sent me…’
John 8: 14 – 18
