Psalm: REJOICE ALLELUIA
Rejoice alleluia, rejoice alleluia, rejoice alleluia, all men will be brothers some day

I'd give you all the strength I have, never be down, never feel sad
Oh, if I could believe it was true, I'd dedicate my life to you
Every second, every minute, every hour, of every day
I would still rejoice in the hope I'd hear you say
Rejoice alleluia, rejoice alleluia, rejoice alleluia, all men will be brothers some day
In sincerity, in truth, honour, and freedom

Communion:
PUT THE MESSAGE IN THE BOX
And if you listen now, you will hear
A new sound coming in as the old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand. You’d better take a closer look
Don’t let it slip right through your hands.
Won’t you please hear the call. The world says
Ch: Put the message in the box, put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world, Until you get heard
And now is the moment, please understand
The road is wide open to the heart of every man
A few simple words that he could understand
He don’t want tomorrow if it’s just crumbling into sand
Won’t you please hear the call. The world says
Chorus
And the world says, “Give a little bit, give a little bit of your love to me
Cos I’m waiting here with open arms”
He says, “Give a little bit, give a little bit of your soul to me
Cos I’m waiting to behold your many charms”
Is that love in the air? The world says Chorus x 2.
Reflection: New Beginnings
How often we wish for another chance
to have a fresh beginning
A chance to blot out our mistakes
and change failure into winning.
It does not take a new year
to make a brand new start.
It only takes the deep desire to try with all your heart.
To live a little better
and to always be forgiving.
To add a little sunshine
to the world in which we are living.
So, never give up in despair
and think that you are through,
For there’s always a tomorrow
and a chance to start anew.

Recessional: OH HAPPY DAY
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washed, oh when He washed
When Jesus washed, He washed my sins away
Oh happy day
[x2]
He taught me how to watch, fight and pray
Fight and pray
And live rejoicing every day, every day
Oh happy day, oh happy day
When Jesus washed, oh when He washed
When Jesus washed, He washed my sins away
Oh happy day, oh happy day.
