O loving Christ
who died upon the tree
Each day and each night
I remember Your love.
In my lying down
and in my rising up
In life and in death
You are my health and my peace.
Each day and each night
I remember Your forgiveness
Bestowed on me so gently
and generously
Each day and each night
may I be fuller in love to you.

-- J. Philip Newell

Welcome to Selahservice.com - an offering of resources for contemplative worship in the Christian church. We seek to join the conversation about this subject with ideas, music and art that have been forged from our own experience of developing and leading the Selah service - a worship model begun in a small Protestant church in 2000 combining silent prayer, simple choruses and hymns with readings from Scripture and prayers in the Christian Celtic tradition. The word “selah” is likely a musical term found in the Psalms meaning “to pause or rest.” We hope you find something here that will encourage you to pause and kindle a greater trust, hope and peace that comes from being still before the Lord and waiting on Him.
