=======================================

In today's video, Will Zellhofer, Assistant Director of Music Ministries, previews one of the communion songs that will be featured in the upcoming season of Advent, "Christ Be Our Light" by Bernadette Farrell. The lyrics to the song, a portion of which can be read below, serve as an important reminder to fall back on the security of Christ in moments of uncertainty, doubt, and darkness.

Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.

Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
Make us your living voice.

Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.

Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
