Lyrics:

Refrain: ||: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Give the glory and the honor to the Lord! :||

1. Where two or three are gathered in my name,
there I am in the midst of them; there I'll be.

2. I am the vine and you are the branches.
Abide in me and bear much fruit.

3. I am the Light of the World;
ev'ryone who follows me will have the light of life.

4. Speak, O Lord, your servant is list'ning;
you have the words of everlasting life.

5. (Advent) Prepare the way of the Lord;
ev'ryone shall see the saving pow'r of God.

6. (Easter) I am the good shepherd, says the Lord;
I know my sheep and mine know me.

7. (Easter) Make your word plain to us, Lord Jesus;
may our hearts burn with love as we hear your voice.

8. (Pentecost) Come to us, Spirit of God;
come and fill our hearts with the fire of your love.
