In peace and in confusion
Jesus Christ is the Light of Life
He is hope for the world
Song “Come thou fount of every blessing”

Tell everyone who is anxious
Be strong and don’t be afraid
Jesus is the source of Life
He brings light to the world
We say the Lord’s Prayer in our own language
Jonah 2
As my life was ebbing away,
I remembered the Lord;
and my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8 Those who worship vain idols
forsake their true loyalty.
9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord!”
10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon the dry land
Song ‘Christ be in my waking”
