I Believe

Lord, You have always given bread for the coming day; and

though I am poor, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always given strength for the coming day; and

though I am weak, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always given peace for the coming day; and

though of anxious heart, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always kept me safe in trials, and

now, tried as I am, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always marked the road for the coming day; and

though it may be hidden, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always lightened this darkness of mine; and

though the night is here, tonight I believe.

Lord, You have always spoken when time was ripe; and

though you be silent now, tonight I believe.

(Celtic Evening Prayer)
