2. Learning to be the Light When the stars came crashing down In tiny pieces to the ground I was all alone down here Trapped beneath the atmosphere In tiny pieces to the ground I was all alone down here Trapped beneath the atmosphere

3. Then I, thought somebody called my name I spun around and caught a flame I gave into a God I didn't know

4. And now everything is falling into place A brand new life is calling and I owe it all to grace

5. It's so much brighter living in your world Savior, what you did for me You gave me something I want everyone to see

6. When we struggle and it all goes wrong Only you can make it right, So I say Oh oh oh oh oh

7. I'm learning to be the light Whoa, whoa I'm learning to be the light- Whoa, whoa

8. When a heart is cold as ice You can't melt it with advice No one wants to listen to A list of things they shouldn't do

9. So I build a city on a hill And I light a candle on the sill Knowing you'll be always knocking at the door

10. Oh God I just want to love on everyone All I have is yours to give So let the people come

11. It's so much brighter living in your world Savior, what you did for me You gave me something I want everyone to see

12. When we struggle and it all goes wrong Only you can make it right, So I say Oh oh oh oh oh

13. I'm learning to be the light Whoa, Whoa I'm learning to be the light- Whoa, Whoa

14. I'm learning to be the light That makes the shadows hide The light that breaks the curse of pride The light that takes the weary in it's arms

15. When it all came crashing down There was only darkness all around But in the distance I could see A Flame

16. It's so much brighter living in your world Savior, what you did for me You gave me something I want everyone, I mean everyone to see

17. When we struggle and it all goes wrong Only you can make it right So I say Oh oh oh oh oh

18. I'm learning to be the light Whoa, whoa I'm learning to be the light- Whoa, whoa

20. APOSTLE’S CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
