Day 4 By the seashore

Lord, you have come to the seashore,

neither searching for the rich nor the wise,

desiring only that I should follow.

 

O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,

gently smiling, you have spoken my name;

all I longed for I have found by the water,

at your side, I will seek other shores

Lord, see my goods, my possessions;

in my boat you find no power, no wealth.

Will you accept, then, my nets and labour?

 

O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,

gently smiling, you have spoken my name;

all I longed for I have found by the water,

at your side, I will seek other shores.

 

Lord, take my hands and direct them.

Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,

returning love for the love you gave me.

 

O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,

gently smiling, you have spoken my name;

all I longed for I have found by the water,

at your side, I will seek other shores.

 

Lord, as I drift on the waters,

be the resting place of my restless heart,

my life’s companion, my friend and refuge.

 

O, Lord, with your eyes set upon me,

gently smiling, you have spoken my name;

all I longed for I have

found by the water,

at your side, I will seek other shores.
