O GOD, commander-in-chief of heaven's army, renew our strength.
Brighten our day with your smile and we will again be safe.
LUKE 1:78-79 (CEV)

will shine upon us
like the sun that rises
in the sky.
On us who live
in the dark shadow
of death
this light will shine
to guide us
into a life of peace.

THE 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. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
