"Lanterns" Retreat Weekend Camp




















“Lanterns” Birds of Tokyo
Lately I've found when I start to think aloud
There's a longing in the sound there is more I could be
In darkness I leave for a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me that is where I should be
We never carried days on our own but now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more we will find ourselves on the road
On we march with a midnight song we will light our way with our lanterns on
On we march till we meet the dawn we will light our way with our lanterns on
As we walk out without question without doubt
In the light that we have found it is finally clear
Our day has come and we'll stand for who we are
We are ready we are young we have nothing to fear
We never carried days on our own but now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more we will find ourselves on the road
On we march with a midnight song we will light our way with our lanterns on
On we march till we meet the dawn we will light our way with our lanterns on
We held the light To our faces And realized We were chasing Shadows behind
Not worth saving So burn it bright Forever illuminating
On we march with a midnight song we will light our way with our lanterns on
On we march till we meet the dawn we will light our way with our lanterns on
In darkness I leave for a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me that is where I should be

Matthew 5:13-16
13“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. 14“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
