CANDLES OF GRACE - SATB
5
Narration:
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under
heaven.
This is a season for silence and shadows, a time for stillness and prayer.
By candlelight we gather, affirming that we are a people who dwell in
deep darkness. God sent His true light into the world, but the world did
not recognize Him. Yet to all who do receive Him, to those who believe
in His name, God has given the right to become His children of Light!
We gather tonight to remember Christ's journey to the cross. We follow
His trail of tears with heavy hearts and
deep repentance. With each step
the shadows grow deeper; yet, as we draw nearer to His sacred cross,
the more truth is revealed.
In the shadow of the cross, we will find our peace and our purpose.
During this sacred time, may we linger with this treasured truth from
scripture.
Jesus, though He was God, did not cling to His rights as God. Instead,
He emptied Himself and took the humble place of a servant and was
born in the likeness
of man. And being found in human form, He
emptied Himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a
cross.
