Leader: God of mystery and of judgment, who has made us to be salt and light
All: in a tasteless, shadowed world, guide us in this time of worship.
Leader: Grant us understanding and spiritual discernment
All: so that others may see your good works through us, give you the glory, and be moved to serve you.

I serve a risen Savior,he's in the world today;I know that he is living,whatever foes may say.I see his hand of mercy,I hear his voice of cheer,and just the time I need him,he's always near.
Refrain:He lives, he lives,Christ Jesus lives today!He walks with me and
talks with mealong life's narrow way.
He lives, he lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know he lives?
He lives within my heart.
In all the world around meI see his loving care,and though my heart
grows weary,I never will despair.I know that he is leadingthrough all the stormy blast;the day of his appearingwill come at last.
Refrain:He lives, he lives,Christ Jesus lives today!He walks with me and
talks with mealong life's narrow way.
He lives, he lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know he lives?
He lives within my heart.
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,lift up your voice and singeternal hallelujahsto Jesus Christ the King!The hope of all who seek him,the help of all who find;none other is so loving,so good and kind.
Refrain:He lives, he lives,Christ Jesus lives today!He walks with me and
talks with mealong life's narrow way.
He lives, he lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know he lives?
He lives within my heart.
Leader:If the human body, body of blood and muscle, is to live, it needs salt.
All:If the body of Christ, body of peace and justice, is to live, it needs us!
Leader:If the earthly creation, bustling and blooming, is to flourish, it needs the sun’s light.
All:If the new creation we are in Christ is to flourish, it needs the Spirit’s light!
Leader:Jesus says we are salt of the earth, light of the world.
All:Our faith, our love, our hope – essential as salt and light.
Leader:But if salt isn’t salty.
All:It isn’t what it’s meant to be.
Leader:And if a light doesn’t shine.
All:It isn’t what it’s meant to be.
Leader:Jesus says we are salt of the earth, light of the world.Briny and bright, we are God’s faithful people.
All:We shall be who we are
meant to be in Christ: a welcoming oasis, a compassionate community,
a justice-making people, giving glory to God!
Go live until the end of the service
Go Shine Your Light!
