LSS COMMISSIONING RITES THE LIGHT OF CHRIST
Cho. The light of Christ
Has come into the world
HERE I AM LORD
The light of Christ
Has come into the world
Cho. Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord? All men must be born again
I have heard you calling in the night To see the kingdom of God
I will go Lord, if you lead me The water and the Spirit bring
I will hold your people in my heart New life in God’s love
(chorus)
I the Lord of sea and sky God gave up his only son
I have heard my people cry Out of love for the world
All who dwell in dark and sin So that all men who believe in Him
My hand will save Will live forever
I who made the stars of night (chorus)
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them The light of God has come to us
Whom shall I send? So that we might have salvation
(chorus) From the darkness of our sins we walk
Into glory with Christ Jesus
(chorus)
I the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people’s pain MAKE ME A SERVANT
I have wept for love of them
They turn away Make me a servant
I will break their hearts of stone Humble and meek
Give them hearts for love alone Lord let me lift up those who are weak
I will speak my word to them And may the pray’r of my heart always be
Whom shall I send? Make me a servant, make me a servant
(chorus) Make me a servant today
End. And may the pray’r of my heart always be
I the Lord of wind and flame Make me a servant, make me a servant
I will tend the poor and lame Make me a servant today
I will set a feast for them
My hand will save LORD HERE I AM
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied Lord here I am to answer Your call
I will give My life to them Lord here I am to serve and love You
Whom shall I send? I have left everything just to follow You
(chorus) Here is my heart, here is my mind
Here is my soul, here is my whole self
I am for You and You alone
End. I am for You and You alone

TAKE AND RECEIVE
Take and receive o Lord my liberty
Take all my will, my mind, my memory
All things I hold and all I own are Thine
Thine was the gift to Thee I all resign
Do Thou direct and govern all and sway
Do what Thou wilt command and I obey
Only Thy grace, Thy love on me bestow
These make me rich all else will I forego
SONG FOR THE NATIONS
May we be a shining light to the nations
A shining light to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world sees the glory of Your name
May Your pure light shine through us
May we bring a word of hope to the nations
A word of life to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows there’s salvation through Your name
May Your mercy flow through us
May we be a healing balm to the nations
A healing balm to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows the power of your name
May your healing flow through us
May we sing a song of joy to the nations
A song of praise to the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world rings with the praises of Your name
May your song be sung through us
May Your kingdom come to the nations
Your will be done in the peoples of the earth
Till the whole world knows that Jesus Christ is Lord
May Your kingdom come in us
May Your kingdom come in us
May Your kingdom come on earth
