cover me with the night — a prayer from Ghana

Come, Lord, and cover me with the night.
Spread your grace over us as you assured us you would do.
Your promises are more than all the stars in the sky;
your mercy is deeper than the night.

Lord, it will be cold.
The night comes with its breath of death.
Night comes; the end comes; you come.
 Lord, we wait for you day and night.
