Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the
King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is Thy
Health and Salvation!
Join the full throng:
Wake, harp and psalter and song;
Sound forth in glad adoration!

14. Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things
so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
uplifteth, sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

15. Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
wondrously, made thee;
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?-Wings of His mercy did shade thee.

16. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
His mercy doth send thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.

17. Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in
me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

19. We pray
The Lord be with you!
And also with you!
(Let us pray that we are light to those around us.
[silence])
Faithful God,
you have called us to be a light shining in the
world.
Make us reflect the light of Christ,
so that people see your love and goodness
in our words and actions.

20. We ask this through your Son, our
Lord,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.

21. God speaks to us
Isaiah 58:1-9a(9b-12)
The Lord desires kindness and justice
This is the word of the Lord,
Thanks be to God.

22. God speaks to us
1 Corinthians 2:1-12(13-16)
Christ crucified- God’s power and wisdom
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

23. God speaks to us
Matthew 5:13-20
You are salt of the earth and light of the
world
This is the gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

24. We believe:
The Nicene Creed:
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

25. We believe in one Lord, Jesus
Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of his Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.

26. For us and for our salvation he came
down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit he
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

27. For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in
accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is
seated at the right hand of the
Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

28. We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and
the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is
worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the
prophets.

29. We believe in one holy catholic* and
apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for
the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the
dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
* ‘catholic’ here means universal

30. We are
In Christ alone
Every secret, every shame
Every fear, every pain
Live inside the dark
But that's not who we are
We are children of the day


31. So wake up sleeper, lift your head
We were meant for more than this
Fight the shadows conquer death
Make the most of the time we have left

32. We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the
light shine

33. We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the
light shine
Let the light shine, let the light shine

34. We are called to the spread the news
Tell the world the simple truth
Jesus came to save, there's freedom
in His Name
So let it all break through

35. We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the
light shine
We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the
light shine
Kari Jobe
