Refrain: 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, the light of Your love is shiningin the midst of the 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. Refrain

Lord, I come to Your awesome presencefrom 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. Refrain

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. Refrain

PrayEr OF thE PEOPLE Bray Zimmerman thE LOrD’S PrayEr

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

* hyMn We Have Come at Christ’s Own Bidding The Faith We Sing 2103

We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace.Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciplesfor a sign both clear and plain.

Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard.Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and prophets meet: Christ, with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete.

Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine.But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless.

Sharing the love of Jesus to transform lives, Cincinnati and the world.
