Father’s glory, blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on
fire; flow, river, flow, flood the nations with
grace and mercy, send forth your word, Lord,
And let there be light.
1.Lord, the light of your love is shining
in the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us,
set us free by the truth you now bring us.
Shine on me, shine on me. (Refrain)
2.Lord, I come to your awesome presence
from the shadows into your radiance;
by the blood I may enter your brightness,
search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me. (Refrain)
3.As we gaze on your kingly brightness,
so our faces display your likeness;
ever changing from glory to glory,
mirrored here may our lives tell your story.
Shine on me, shine on me. (Refrain)

1 Upon the mountain, my Lord spoke,
out his mouth came fire and smoke.
All around me looks so shine,
ask my Lord if all was mine. (Refrain)

runs to heaven and right back. (Refrain)

The Gospel Lesson…………… 9:28-36 Melanie B.
9:28 Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.
9:29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. 9:30 Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him.
9:31 They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 9:32 Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.
9:33 Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” — not knowing what he said. 9:34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud.
9:35 Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” 9:36 When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.

Closing Hymn……………How Great Is Our God #3003 W&S
Words: C. Tomlin, J. Reeves, E. Cash
Music: C. Tomlin, J. Reeves, E. Cash

1.The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty;
Let all the earth rejoice, let all the earth rejoice.
He wraps himself in light, and darkness tries to hide;
It trembles at his voice, it trembles at his voice.
How great is our God! Sing with me, “How great is our God!”
And all will see how great, how great is our God!
2.Age to age he stands, and time is in his hands;
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End.
The God-head Three-in-one, Father, Spirit, Son,
The Lion and the Lamb, the Lion and the Lamb.
How great is our God! Sing with me, “How great is our God!’
And all will see how great, how great is our God!”
Name above all names, worthy of all praise;
my heart will sing, “How great is our God!”
