Go Now, You Are Sent Forth

1. Go now, you are sent forth
to live what you proclaim;
To show the world you follow Christ
in fact, not just in name.

2. Go now, you are sent forth
To walk this troubled earth,
To share your faith with all we meet
And prove your real worth.

3. Go now, you are sent forth
As God's ambassador;
By serving God in those we meet
We love God more and more.

4. Go now, you are sent forth
And Christ goes with you too.
Today you help God's kingdom come
In everything you do.

I Want To Walk As A Child Of The Light

I want to walk as a child of the Light
I want to follow Jesus
God set 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.

I want to see the Brightness of God
I want to look at Jesus
Clear Son of righteousness shine on my path
And show me the way to the Father. (Refrain)

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)

L'Esprit de Dieu repose sur moi (France)

Refrain:

L'Esprit de Dieu repose sur moi,
L'Esprit de Dieu m'a consacré,
L'Esprit de Dieu m'a envoyé proclamer la paix, la joie.

L'Esprit de Dieu m'a choisi
Pour étendre le Règne du Christ parmi les nations,
Pour proclamer la Bonne Nouvelle à ses pauvres.
J'exulte de joie en Dieu, mon Sauveur! (Refrain)

L'Esprit de Dieu m'a choisi
Pour étendre le Règne du Christ parmi les nations,
Pour consoler les coeurs accablés de souffrance.

Pour étendre le Règne du Christ parmi les nations,
Pour accueillir le Pauvre qui pleure et qui peine.
J'exulte de joie en Dieu, mon Sauveur! (Refrain)

Pour étendre le Règne du Christ parmi les nations,
Pour annoncer la grâce de la délivrance.

Pour étendre le règne du Christ parmi les nations,
Pour célébrer sa gloire parmi tous les peuples.
