bring us, Shine on me, Shine on me.
Refrain
Shine Jesus shine; Fill this land with the Father's
glory; Blaze, Spirit blaze; Set our hearts on fire;
Flow, river flow; Flood the nations with grace and
mercy; Send forth Your word; Lord and let there

Lord I come to Your awesome presence; From
the shadows into Your radiance; By the blood I
may enter Your brightness; Search me, try me,

Your story; Shine on me, Shine on me.

The Symbols and Meaning of the Five
Colors
Black – Symbolizes our very nature we are all
sinners separated from the glory of GOD. We commit
sins because we are all sinners. Romans 3:23
Red – Symbolizes the BLOOD OF JESUS
shed on the cross to pay the penalty of our
sins. For “without the shedding of
blood there is no remission of sins” Hebrews 9:22.
Romans 5:8 “But GOD demonstrates His own love
towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ
died for us.”
White – Symbolizes the heart and life that is
cleansed by the blood of Jesus. This is the life of a
child of God received through faith in Christ Jesus.
When a person repents and believes on the complete
redeeming work of Christ on the cross. John 1:12,
Romans 9:9-10.
Yellow – Symbolizes Gold – Heaven – Eternity
– Eternal life. When a person believes he has now
eternal life. No condemnation for him. He is free from
judgement. He is bound for heaven. John 5:24, Romans
8:1, John 3:36, 1John 5:13, Revelations 21:18-27.
Green – Symbolizes life. Everything that haw
life will continue to grow. We will continue to
grow when we Eat, Drink, Breath, Exercise, Release-
Dispose. Same with our spiritual life we need to Eat
and Drink from the Word of God-the Bible. Breath in
Prayer and Worship, Exercise through works of service
and Release and Dispose through sharing, witnessing
and disciple-making. (Matthew 4:4, John 6:35,
Ephesians 4:11-14, Hebrews 10:22-25, Matthew 28:18-
20).
Singing for the Theme Song
“FRIENDS”
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
