“I Will Sing of Life”
No one has ever seen or heard, no human heart can possibly imagine what God has prepared for those who love Him.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in the hands, so that you will not strike your foot against the stone.
God by with you, God is with us, God is among us, God is in the depth of our hearts, Amen, Alleluia.
For a very long time we’ve been searching, seeking, asking: When will the light come, at last, to deliver us? The light of peace, truth, joy, hope, love and life.
Today, let us sing: God is with us, God is among us, God is in the depths of our hearts, Amen, Alleluia
Search, seek, ask...God is among us, God is in the depths of our hearts, Amen, Alleluia
Joy Hans Bridger Heruth (b. 1997)
Even When He is Silent
Lux Beatissimi
May the light fill your heart
Light of your faithful, fill the darkness
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men
Darkness has not overcome the light
