At the rise of the Third Watch

At the rise of the Third Watch,
when my soul falls into prayer,
when I seek You, I search for You,
my Creator, oh sovereign God…
 
At the rise of the Third Watch,
The courses of the night,
though evil may bind me,
I will seek Your light…
 
At the rise of the Third Watch,
Your Law, Your Love, oh God,
will be on my tongue, my heart,
they will be my solemn prayer…

At the rise of the Third Watch
 
Based on #Psalm119:61-62
The Psalm speak of midnight, which is the start of the "12 to 3 AM prayer watch," or the "Third Watch," is a time of prayer and spiritual focus, often associated with spiritual warfare and seeking divine intervention.  It is a time of heightened spiritual activity, where believers are encouraged to pray against darkness and evil forces.
