At Your Father’s Side – Lyrics
Refrain: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Our lives are fleeting, so return to the Lord with all your heart.
One day is like a thousand years in your sight; a thousand years like a watch in the night.
We know not the day nor the hour that will be our last. It will come like a thief in the night when we least expect.
Run to Him, confess your sin, His arms are open wide. Receive the gift of tender mercy at your Father’s side.
Most Holy Trinity, during this Lenten Season we desire to know you more clearly, love you more fully, and serve you more readily. Stir up in our hearts a hunger for a deeper personal relationship with You – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mother Mary we ask your intercession in the spiritual battle for souls that Satan’s strategy would be thwarted, so that the truth about the power of prayer would be proclaimed and embraced, and many more lay men and women would AWAKE & PRAY to join the people of the remnant. Amen.
