Brian Duncan Arr. by Ray Jones and J. Brian Duncan Olivia Hacker, soloist From morning to evening...from daylight to the dawn... My mouth wants to praise You...In my heart there's a song...

(Chorus Repeats) Your name is still higher Carry the Light with Music Makers Patrick McMonigle, soloist Words and Music by Judy Martinez and John David Martinez Arr. by Amanda Singer There's a world without hope out there, searching for the answers to the questions about life. They won't find them unless we show them the way, the only way. So won't you carry the Light, won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to the children who cry. Carry the Light; won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to a world that is blind. Touch a hurting child; reach out to a man in need. Wipe a mother's tears with compassion; plant a seed. Go out to all the world, and tell them the good news. That Jesus conquered death, and eternal life is true. Won't you carry the Light, won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to the children who cry. Carry the Light; won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to a world that is blind. Brothers and sisters it is time to unite. Let's join together, and carry the light. Carry the Light, won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to the children who cry. Carry the Light; won't you let it shine? Carry the Light to a world that is blind... Carry the Light to a world that is blind. I Am Yours Words and Music by Amanda Singer Music Makers Wangechi Mwangi, soloist Take my heart. I am Yours. Grow me up to be like You. Help me love You like You love me, Jesus. I am Yours. I am Yours. You are mine... Use my gifts. I am Yours. Grow me up to be like You. Help me serve You like You serve me, Jesus. I am Yours. I am Yours. You are mine... 4
Here's my praise. I am Yours. Grow me up to be like You. Help me know You like You know me, Jesus. I am Yours. Help me know You like You know me, Jesus. I am Yours. *Song of Response All Who Are Thirsty Offering Giving Thanks Kingdom of God Julia Fisher and Jack Morgan, duet Words and Music by Andrea Jones, Ray Jones, and J.
