1. 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 our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.
4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.
5. Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.

Mass of Holy Trinity| Music by Mike Stanley
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things
and I passionately desire
to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to You
now and forever. Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit
Verse 1:
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness Opened my eyes, let me see Beauty that made this heart adore you Hope of a life spent with you
Chorus:
So here I am to worship Here I am to bow down Here I am to say that you're my God And you're altogether lovely Altogether worthy Altogether wonderful to me.
Verse 2:
King of all days Oh so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above Humbly you came To the earth you created All for love's sake became poor
Bridge:
And I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross (Repeat)
Words & Music: Tim Hughes
Lord the light of Your love is shining
In 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.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
Fill this land with the Fath er's glo ry.
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.
As we gaze on Your kindly 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.
