SUCKING THE LIFE

SUCKING THE LIFE
Sitting awhile
Quietly, peacefully
The sea rippling
The waves so calm
But beneath there is a rippling
Flowing heaving
Curling, swirling,
Riptide pulling
Sucking everything in its path
Way down deep, deep
In the depths of the oceans be
Wherever it goes it flows beneath
A rotten stagnant life full of woes
Where nothing can be real
But life is real
It tosses, turns and churns
Our lives upside down
Like a riptide way deep inside
The fear, the anguish
The panic, the pain
A love tossed aside
Way deep inside
Whilst I sit here I am letting it go
Flow, flow with the riptide
But this riptide I am in control

LIGHT - THE WORD OF LIFE

LIGHT
THE WORD OF LIFE
Before all things were created
Our World had already existed
From the very beginning the Word was God
Through Him all things were made
In God was Life
And in that life was the Light
For men, women and children
Yet the darkness was and is still not understanding the source of the Light
The Light of Our God

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

When you feel as if your world looks, feels as if it is in darkness
Turn to your Lord our Father
Pray with him
Speak with him
Our Lord, Our God, Our Father
Hears us, listens to us
We are His children

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

When Jesus spoke to people he said
“I am the Light of the World
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness
But will have the light of life

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

What has evoked such darkness into your world?
Those steel bars and chains locked around your heart
That tears you apart
Those beaten, battered, bruised steps
That you take each and everyday
That carries you further away

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

Do we know that we are God’s Temple?
And that His spirit lives within us
He is our Salvation
Our Sanctuary
Our Peace
Our Holy place
Let us not let anyone destroy God’s Temple
Let no man destroy our Salvation
His light

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

There is Sanctuary in God’s Light
There is Salvation in God’s Light
There is Love in God’s Light
There is an abundance of joy in God’s Light
There is paradise in God’s Light
A Light that is Eternal

(chorus)
Come to the light
A light so bright
The stars showing the light
Come you all to my light

AMEN
