At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11; NLT).
1. May your light shine, Lord God,
In every mind,
Then Christ will guide the steps
Of humankind.
2. May your truth reign, Lord God,
In every heart,
Then Christ will be our lantern
In the dark.
3. May your love dwell, Lord God,
In every soul,
Then Christ will be the grace
That makes us whole.
4. May your peace rule, Lord God,
Throughout the earth,
Then Christ will lead us all
From death to birth.
