NIGHTWATCH
Friday, December 31, 1999 at 06:01PM Blessed is the soul who stands the nightwatch...
In the quiet of the night she waits upon the One who called her name.
He presents Himself to her in a way only the spirit can comprehend...
...He sets her feet to dancing and her heart to rejoicing.
"I am in the presence of the King! Here am I Lord ~ please send me!"
Speaking wisdom to her innermost parts,
she knows her calling and responds to His command.
Dressed for battle ~
she pours out her heart at the foot of the throne for those she loves...
...and even those she does not know.
A pleasure in His sight, He hears her cry,
and answers in the place where He dwells.
With a single word, He gathers a mighty Host and sends them out,
to war over those for whom she's labored,
to protect them from harm at the enemy's hand.
The prayer of a righteous warrior has accomplished much.
The Heavens celebrate in its triumph...
...The Enemy trembles in his defeat.
Guarded carefully in the refuge of His Wing,
she rests as the new dawn approaches.
Blessed is the soul who stands the nightwatch...
