Our world: mission possible

2. The Spirit lives to set us free,
walk, walk in the light;
He binds us all in unity,
walk, walk in the light.
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light of the Lord.

3. Jesus promised life to all,
walk, walk in the light;
the dead were wakened by His call,
walk, walk in the light.
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light of the Lord.

4. He died in pain on Calvary ,
walk, walk in the light;
to save the lost like you and me,
walk, walk in the light.
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light,
Walk in the light of the Lord.

5. We know His death was not the
end,

walk, walk in the light;
His light will shine for all to see,
walk, walk in the light.
Walk in the light,

8. We say sorry to God for all the
wrong things that we have done.

9. Heavenly Father,
we have sinned in thought, word and
deed,
and have failed to do what we ought to
have done.
We are sorry and truly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ who
died for us,
forgive us all that is past
and lead us in his way
to walk as children of light.
Amen.

10. Jubilate ev'rybody
Serve the Lord in all your ways
and
Come before His presence singing
Enter now His courts with praise
For the Lord our God is gracious
And His mercy's everlasting
Jubilate jubilate
Jubilate Deo

11. Reading: John 15:12-15
Love one another the way I loved you. This
is the very best way to love. Put your life on
the line for your friends. You are my friends
when you do the things I command you. I'm
no longer calling you servants because
servants don't understand what their
master is thinking and planning. No, I've
named you friends because I've let you in
on everything I've heard from the
Father.

17. Love one another the way I loved
you.

19. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.

20. We are pilgrims on a journey,
and companions on the road;
we are here to help each other
walk the mile and bear the load.

21. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. Brother, sister, let me serve you,
let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to
let you be my servant too.

25. Prayers

27. There is a Redeemer,
Jesus, God's own Son,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Holy One,
Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

28. Jesus my Redeemer,
Name above all names,
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
Hope for sinners slain.
Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
‘Til the work on Earth is done

29. When I stand in Glory,
I will see His face,
There I'll serve my King forever,
In that Holy Place.
Thank you oh my Father,
For giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit,
'Til the work on Earth is done.

30. Let us go in the peace of Christ to
love other people as God loves us.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
