In the Middle of the Night


I’ve read The Jesus Prayer.  I’ve said The Jesus Prayer, but until I heard Fr. Mark Livingston’s slow mass-summarizing recessional hymn, I’d never sung The Jesus Prayer.

Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe,
in You.
Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe,
in You.
Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe;
Jesus, I believe,
Jesus, I believe in You.

On a quiet walk:                Jesus, I believe.
In a quiet chapel:               Jesus, I believe.
In my quiet home:             Jesus, I believe.
Through painful tears:       Jesus, I believe.
Though sad, alone:            Jesus, I believe.
In the middle of the night: Jesus, I believe.
When I need You most:     Jesus, I believe in You.
