"Jesus, King of Angels"

"Jesus, King of Angels." I heard this song by Fernando Ortega for the first time today. Thought of how the dark can be scary even for adults. Thought also of how night is not restricted to the hours between dusk and dawn.  It can also be a season of life during which only trusting Him and trusting His promise that He is with us always (even when we cannot feel His presence), and works all things, including the night seasons, for our good, can keep despair at bay and/or dispel if it has already taken hold. Sharing the lyrics and video.

Jesus, King of Angels, Heaven's light
Shine Your face upon this house tonight
Let no evil come into my dreams
Light of Heaven keep me in Your peace

Remind me how You made dark spirits flee
And spoke Your power to the raging sea
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man
Remind me Jesus, this is what I am

The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me

With all my heart I love You, Sovereign Lord
Tomorrow let me love You even more
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep again

The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me

Jesus, King of Angels, Heaven's light
Hold my hand and keep me through this night
