Thrill Me Tonight – a song

[verse 1]
Walked into the crowded bar
An end to the unending week
I saw your windblown hair
As you walked in from the street

I wondered what might happen
If I asked to know your name
Hoped in that brave moment
We’d never be the same

I’ve always been a dreamer
But the dream was new tonight
I wondered if you’d save my day
And fill my lonesome night

[chorus]
Thrill me tonight
Fill me tonight
Save me from today
Fill my lonely night

Follow me tonight
I’ll show you where you live
Tell to me your name
And thrill me tonight

[verse 2]
The blur of midday ended
As day turned into night
Into your twilight eyes
Into the promised light

I crossed the crowded place
And found your starlit face
Asked you for your name
Into my night you came

I’ve always been a dreamer
But the dream came true tonight
As day turned into evening
Adorned in your beautiful sight

[chorus]

[verse 3]
We drove into the night
Top down, tunes filled the dark
You touched my tired leg
The night lept through my chest

And then began the rest
Of night’s remembered place
Gazing into starlight
Gazing at your face

The tickled insecurities
Faded into dark
As night fell into silence
And all the world fell stark

[chorus]

[verse 4]
Arriving into silence
We fell to life renewed
And life was newly mobile
Moving into grace

The fire turned to light
As colors bloomed to life
I touched your blooming rose
And kissed your waiting face

Perfection found in wonder
Exploring newfound fates
Alive in newfound wonders
Emptying our plates

[chorus]

[verse 5]
Enlivened imprecisions
As day turned into night
We flew to unknown places
Releasing all old plights

And fire turned to night
And water flowed in peace
Releasing you in silence
Screaming in release

Exploding into glory
I touched your waiting place
Started with a moment
I braved to ask your name

[chorus]

Stand

From the deepest of depths
Where you and I are one
There calls out a spirit
Together with your son

Jesus, my salvation
Fill my heart with you
Friend and constant teacher
In everything we do

Present in my life
Consistent source of all
Standing in your love
Answering your call

Union of power and peace
Reveal your face to me
Precious and perfect brother
Hear today my plea

In you, all troubles fall
With you, all life is grand
Renew my love in you, Lord
Together, forever we’ll stand

Prayer of Light and Peace

Father God,

Fill us with the desire to grow strong
But also with the recognition
That all strength is from You
And feed our desire

Love is flowing from Your hand
Through the hearts of Your children
It pervades and permeates all that is
All that was and all that will be

Grant us the grace to forgive
Let us not seek to be made whole
Wholeness comes only from You
Forgiveness opens anew our hearts

All the gifts in store for us
Set loose this brave new day
Open our eyes to see, our hands to receive
From You all good gifts flow forever

Give to us the peace of clarity
We seek to know Your face
Shield our eyes from humanity’s noise
Take us into Your presence

And as we become bathed in Your peace
Let us shine that peace on the world
You have created us to love You
Guide us to this perfect fate

Strengthen, too, our acceptance
Remind us that all is as You have designed
Teach us in the way of calm compassion
Let us help to still the pond of existence

Teach us to sing Your wondrous praises
Fill us with Your grand and quiet love
Grant us the mind of pure Light
That we might shine through Your children

Lead us, Father, to a heart of graciousness
Fill us with a perfect sense of acceptance
Flood us in Your forever divine love
Let us enjoy the peace of Your heart

Amen

Flooding Light

God of all creation
Fill us in your power
Place your hand upon us
Touch us, Lord, this hour

Glory shines now through us
Flooded in heaven’s light
Immersed in your perfection
You set our hearts aright

Bear our burdens, Father
Saved by the Lamb of grace
Let your love shine through us
In the image of a Savior’s face

Soften my Heart

Soften, Lord, my heart
Burn away my pride
Release me from my bondage
Set your fire inside

Fill me with great love
Sanctify me true
Relieve me from my sufferings
Make every thought of you

Release me from all judgment
Cover me in your grace
So I may cover another
And show them your perfect face
