THE LORD IS MY LIGHT

The Lord is my light, my help, my salvation.
Why should I fear? With God I fear no one.
God protects me all my life,
With the Lord, what should I dread?
Refrain:
The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help,
The Lord is my salvation
There is one thing I ask of the Lord
that I long for;
All of my days with God to be dwelling,
gazing with awe at the beauty of God,
and in wonder look on God's house.

Refrain:
I know I will live to see the Lord's goodness;
now, in this life, I'm sure I will see it.
Trust in the Lord, be strong and be brave,
wait in hope for God, our salvation.

Refrain:


HOSEA

Come back to me with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
Refrain:
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.

The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice with tenderness you shall know.
Refrain:
You shall sleep secure in peace;
Faithfulness will be your joy.

Refrain:


COME UNTO ME

Refrain:
Come, come unto me; I will make you a jewel,
Precious and rare the glory you'll bear
in the crown of God
There are deeds you alone must do,
there are words only you can say
Trust in me, and do not tremble,
for I go with you to show you the way.
From the dawn of creation,
from the tree on Calvary,
I chose you and gave my life to be my own,
to be my delight


YOU ARE MINE

I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all you fear.
You will hear my voice, I claim you as my choice,
Be still and know I am here.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night, I will be your light,
Come and rest in me
Refrain:
Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.

I am strength for all the despairing,
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free,
and all will know my name.

Refrain:

I am the Word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name embracing all your pain,
Stand up, now walk and live!

Refrain:


I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE

I am the Bread of life
You who come to me shall not hunger
And who believe in me shall not thirst
No can come to me unless the Father beckons.

Refrain:
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day.
The bread that I will give is
my flesh for the life of the world
and if you eat of this bread
you shall live forever,
you shall live forever.

Refrain:

Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of His blood
and drink of His blood,
You shall not have life within you.

Refrain:

I am the Resurrection,
I am the life if you believe in me, even though you die, you shall live forever.

Refrain:

Yes, Lord, we believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God who has come into the world.

Refrain:


ON EAGLE'S WINGS

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in his shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: "My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust."

Refrain:
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of his hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under his wings your refuge,
his faithfulness your shield.

Refrain:

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day;
Though thousands fall about you,
near you it shall not come.

Refrain:

For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up
lest you dash your foot against a stone.

Refrain:

Coda:
And hold you, hold you in the palm of his hand.
