Gathering Option #2 | Shine Through Us
Jesus, help us to spread
Your fragrance ev’rywhere we go
Flood our souls with Your Spirit and life
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly
that our lives may only be a radiance of You
Shine through us
and be so in us
that ev’ry soul we meet
may feel Your presence in our soul
Let them look up and see
no longer us but only Jesus
Stay with us, then we shall begin to shine
as You shine, so to shine,
as to be a light to others
the light, O Jesus, will be all from You
none from us
Shine through us
and be so in us
that ev’ry soul we meet
may feel Your presence in our soul
may feel Your presence in our soul
Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 112 The Just Man Is a Light in Darkness
The just man is a light in darkness to the upright, to the upright.
R./ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright, to the upright.
Light shines through the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
R./ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright, to the upright.
He shall never be moved;
the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.
An evil report he shall not fear;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
R./ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright, to the upright.
His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear.
Lavishly he gives to the poor;
His justice shall endure forever;
his horn shall be exalted in glory.
R./ The just man is a light in darkness to the upright, to the upright.
