Offertory
Father of Light (Craig Courtney)
Sanctuary Choir
Kelsey Cogliano, soloist
All praise to the name of the Father of light,
One who listens and hears when I call.
Every step He ordains, I shall walk without fear.
In His light I’ll not stumble or fall.
What can mortal man do while I’m safe in His hand?
He is God–on His Word I rely.
In the midst of my fear I will trust in His name,
for I know He will hear when I cry.
He knows all of my feelings, the depths of despair,
All the limits my soul can endure.
I will trust in His Name, I have nothing to lose,
for in Him all my hopes are secure.
God alone can deliver a soul from its death,
lift a life from a wasteland of need.
God alone can replenish with blessings untold,
until into His light we are freed.
Doxology (OLD HUNDREDTH)
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below, Praise Him above ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
