ANTHEM: Come Fill My Heart, Lord by Timothy G. Bushong
Come fill my heart, Lord. Come light my way. Come ease my troubled mind that I might serve you well this day. Come ease my pain, Lord. Come make me whole. Come quench my thirst and feed the hunger in my soul, come fill my heart. Lord, hear my cry. Lord, hear this prayer. Lord, hear my prayer; my every sorrow heal, my broken spirit, my despair. When I lose my way, Lord, and I call your name, come save me once again and wipe away my shame; come fill my heart. Come fill this broken vessel with your love and grace. Fill me to overflowing this I pray. Come fill my heart, Lord. Come light my way. Guide every step I take that I might serve you well this day. Come Lord Jesus Christ, come fill my heart.

Arise, shine forth, O people, rise clothed in floods of light! God’s glory shines upon you, puts earth’s deep shades to flight. Though nations dwell in darkness and gloom the earth may veil, the brightness of God’s glory upon you shall prevail. [Isaiah 61:1-2, para. Joy Patterson]
