I WANT TO WALK AS A CHILD OF THE LIGHT

  1. I want to walk as a child of the light
    I want to follow Jesus
    God sent the stars to give light to the world The star of my life is Jesus

REFRAIN: In Him there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike The Lamb is the light of the city of God Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus

2. I want to see the brightness of God
I want to look at Jesus
Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path And show me the way to the Father

REFRAIN:  In Him there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike The Lamb is the light of the city of God Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus!

3. I’m looking for the coming of Christ, I want to be with Jesus
When we have run with patience the race
We shall know the joy of Jesus!   Refrain

SHINE JESUS SHINE

Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father’s glory Blaze, Spirit, blaze – Set our hearts on fire Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light

  1. Lord, the light of your love is shining In the midst of the darkness, shining Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us Set us free by the truth you now bring us Shine on me, shine on me

Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father’s glory Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light

2. Lord, I come to your awesome presence From the shadows into your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness Search me, try me, consume all my darkness Shine on me, shine on me.  REFRAIN

3. As we gaze on your kingly brightness So our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory Mirrored here may our lives tell your story Shine on me, shine on me REFRAIN

 

I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest;
lay down thou weary one,
lay down, thy head upon my breast”.

I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place
and he has made me glad

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water, thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live.”

I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched my soul revived,
and now I live in him

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light;
look unto me thy morn shall rise
and all thy day be bright.”

I looked to Jesus and I found
in Him my star my sun;
and in that light of life I’ll walk
’till travelling days are done

It has been such a blessing to share the joy of music with St. John students for more than 24 years as a Music educator. I studied Music at the University of Michigan where I graduated with a B.M. in Vocal Performance and Arts Management. I'm so grateful to teach along side the talented Mrs. Meghan Villanueva engaging students in music and watching them shine! "Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth." Mark Twain
