CHRIST BE OUR LIGHT (Sunday 9am)
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.
Refrain
Christ be our light! Shine in Your hearts.
Shine through the darkness. Christ be our light!
Shine in your Church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us,
Make us Your living voice. Refrain
Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us Your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed. Refrain

A NEW COMMANDMENT (Sunday 9am)
A new commandment I give unto you,
that you love one another as I have loved you,
that you love one another as I have loved you.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.

THE SERVANT SONG (Sunday 9am)
Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey,
fellow travellers on the road;
we are here to help each other
walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christ-light for you
in the night time of your fear;
I will hold my hand out to you,
speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping;
when you laugh I’ll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
‘Till we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven
we shall find such harmony,
born of all we’ve known together
of Christ’s love and agony.
Will you let me be your servant,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE (Sunday 9am)
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love;
where there is injury, Your pardon Lord
and where there’s doubt, true faith in You.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light,
and where there’s sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving unto all that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

AMAZING GRACE (Sunday 9am)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
