"Light and Salt"

 

We are the light of the world

We are the salt of the earth.

If the salt has lost its flavor

It has lost all its worth.

 

We are the light of the world

We are the salt of the earth.

If the light can't pierce the darkness

Then the darkness will get worse.

 

Like salt makes us thirsty for another taste

God's living water is seasoned with grace.

May the Spirit burn bright in our lives every day,

Like a beacon of light that will show the way.

 

We are the light of the world

We are the salt of the earth.

He who binds us  now sends us  to the world

With  a message of love and new birth
