Opening Hymn “Shine Jesus Shine”
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
Chorus
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 [Chorus]
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 [Chorus]

Closing Hymn “Living Hope”
How great the chasm that lay between us how high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven and spoke Your Name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy what heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory to wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven the King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever Jesus Christ my living hope
Chorus
Hallelujah praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain there’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Benediction
