Song of the Week - #20 - "Shine On Us"
This song is offered in response to the heartbreaking and terrifying news we hear nearly every day. At times I feel anxious, angry, and hopeless but then I’m reminded to pray and I’m reminded that I can ask people like you to pray. I’m reminded that the love of God and the power of the gospel are the only answers for our world. My dear brothers and sisters, let us work while it is day! Pray, Preach the Word, Make disciples! May we serve and intercede! May the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ shine through us!
Many thanks to: Vocals - Linda McCrary, Kesha Shantrell, Leon McCrary, and Carlos Gallardo-Candia. Bass - Sam Beumier, Drums - Bryan Taylor, Keys - Carlos Gallardo-Candia, Camera - Josh Kim. Special thanks to the many additional singers from my home church Christian Assembly in Eagle Rock, CA.

For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”
John 9:4,5 niv “As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
