Hymn:
Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
the holy One, is here
Come bow before him now
with reverence and fear
In him no sin is found
we stand on holy ground
Be still, for the presence of the Lord,
the holy One, is here
Be still, for the glory of the Lord
is shining all around
He burns with holy fire,
with splendor he is crowned
How awesome is the sight
our radiant king of light
Be still, for the glory of the Lord
is shining all around
Be still, for the power of the Lord
is moving in this place
He comes to cleanse and heal,
to minister his grace
No work too hard for him,
in faith receive from him
Be still, for the power of the Lord
is moving in this place
Prayer followed by Notices
Procession of our School Banners during the hymn:
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold Your people in my heart.
I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my Word to them.
Whom shall I send?
Chorus
I the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
Chorus

Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and forever.
