Gathering | Christ, Be Our Light
Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
Preparation | My Life in You
Where can I run and hide from you?
Or could I ever do?
When everywhere I know You’re there
Anywhere You’ll find me.
Where could I go to flee from You?
Or could I ever do?
When Your hands keep holding me,
Guiding me around me
God, I know that You are there
You know who I am and all I do
God, You see me through and through
Take my hand I trust in You
I put my life in You
Communion/Closing | Stay With Me, Lord
