A Song Somewhere Inside - Morning Prayer for Easter

It’s the Second Friday of Easter in the Church Calendar. April 21, 2023.

This week we are following the Daily Office lectionary with an episode Monday through Friday.

Praying today for Darko.

Our general order and lectionary comes from the Book of Common Prayer Daily Office. Singing a new song I wrote called, “Somewhere Inside.” We’ll read Psalms 16 and 17 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Gospel reading is Luke 3:15-22 . We’ll say the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Collect of the Day. We’ll then have a time of prompted prayer.

If you have a prayer request please submit it here. Sign up here for the email list.

Second Sunday of Easter, Rite Two - Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Somewhere InsideBen Ward, 2023

I’ve got a song somewhere insideI know it’s thereBut it’s out of reach tonightIn the middle of nowhereIf You could just plug it inI can barely make it outTurn it upDoesn’t have to be loudOr profoundI long to sing the song You put in meIts melodyAching with the sound

Oh….oh….Ah…ah…I sing to my MakerCreated to CreatorI sing to my SaviorWho’s poured on me His favorOh….oh….Ah…ah…
