Carry the flame

A great song we used in worship of Sunday!

Carry the flame
Of the God of creation;
Tell of His majesty
Power and love.
Declare His name
And His plan to all nations,
Point them to glories
In Heaven above.

Carry the flame
To a world that is weary.
Carry the flame
To a world in despair.
Tell them that Jesus
Is waiting to help them.
Tell them there's hope,
That His people still care.

Carry the flame
Of the suffering Saviour,
Who brought our sinful
World to the cross,
He has provided
Eternal salvation,
Teaching us how
To gain victory through loss.

Carry the flame
Of the life-giving Spirit,
Showing the world
Where true peace is found.
Where God is leading
Us we gladly follow;
Where sin is strong,
God's grace does abound.

Carry the flame
To the next generation.
Help them rekindle
Transforming fire.
Point them to deeper
Commitment and service,
Pleasing the Lord
Their continual desire.

Carry the flame
In Jesus' name.
Carry the flame
In Jesus' name.
Amen!
