Welcome to ourAsh Wednesday

Service

You shall cross the barren desert,

but you shall not die of thirst.

You shall wander far in safety

though you do not know the way.

You shall speak your words to foreign men and

they will understand.You shall see the face of

God and live.

Be not afraid.I go before you

always.Come follow

meand I will give

you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the

sea, you shall not drown.

If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.

If you stand before the pow’r of hell and death

is at your side, know that I am with you

through it all.

Be not afraid.I go before you

always.Come follow

meand I will give

you rest.

Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall

be theirs.Blest are you that weep and mourn,

For one day you shall laugh.

And if wicked men insult and hate you all

because of me,blessed, blessed are

you!

Be not afraid.I go before you

always.Come follow

meand I will give

you rest.

Learn To Love Jesus

Listen to Jesus

I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,

casting its shadows near.

And on this morning bright

though it be, I feel those shadows

near me.

But you are always close to me following all my ways. May I be always close to you following all your ways,

Lord.

I watch the sunlightShine through the

clouds,Warming the earth

below.And at the mid-dayLife seems to say:

“I feel your brightness near

me.”

For you are always close to me following all my ways. May I be always close to you following all your ways,

Lord.

I watch the sunsetfading away,

lighting the clouds with sleep.

And as the eveningCloses it’s eyes

I feel your presence near me.

For you are always close to me following all my ways. May I be always close to you following all your ways,

Lord.

I watch the moonlight

guarding the night,waiting till

morning comes.The air is silent,earth is at rest-

only your peace is near me

Yes you are always close to me following all my ways.

May I be always close to you following all your ways,

Lord.

Lord the light of your love is shining,

in the midst of your darkness, shining;

Jesus, light of the world, shine upon us,

set us free by the truth You now bring us, shine

on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the

Father’s glory;Blaze Spirit, blaze, set

our hearts on fire.Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy; send forth

Your word, Lord and let there be light.

Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,

From the shadows into your radiance;

By the blood I may enter Your brightness,

Search me, try me, consume all my

darkness.Shine on me, shine on

me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the

Father’s glory;Blaze Spirit, blaze, set

our hearts on fire.Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy; send forth

Your word, Lord and let there be light.

As we gaze on Your kingly brightness

so our faces display Your likeness,

Ever changing from glory to glory,

Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.

Shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the

Father’s glory;Blaze Spirit, blaze, set

our hearts on fire.Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy; send forth

Your word, Lord and let there be light.
