KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS
Blessed are You, YHWH, our God,
King of the Universe,
Who commanded all humanity
to set aside the Sabbath as a day of rest,
And as we Gentiles, Sinaites, Sabbath-keepers,
borrow the symbolic act in Jewish tradition,
of lighting the Sabbath candles,
We welcome the Queen of all days,
Your Holy Sabbath at sundown Friday.

[Blessed be the NAME Medley by Don Moen/Slightly Modified lyrics]
Blessed be the Name of the LORD,
He is worthy to be praised and adored;
So we lift up holy hands in one accord, singing—
Blessed be the Name, blessed be the Name,
Blessed be the Name of the LORD.
No other Name but the Name of YAHUWAH,
No other Name but the Name of the LORD,
No other Name but the Name of YAHUWAH,
Is worthy of glory, is worthy of honor,
Is worthy of worship and of praise!
Worthy, Thou art Worthy,
King of kings, Lord of lords,
Thou art Worthy;
Faithful, Thou art Faithful,
King of kings, Lord of lords,
We worship You!
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
Thou art worthy, O LORD,
To receive glory, glory and honor,
Glory and honor and pow’r.
For Thou has created, hast all things created,
Thou hast created all things,
And for Thy pleasure they are created:
For Thou art worthy, O Lord!

As the deer pants for streams of water/Revised Lyrics]
1. As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul deeply thirsts for You,
You alone are my heart’s desire;
worship You, I have longed to do.
CHO: You alone are the God I need,
Your Words of Life are the words I heed;
You alone are my heart’s desire,
Worship You, have I longed to do.
2. You’re my God, yes there is no other,
You’re the One, only ONE TRUE GOD,
I love You, yes there is no other
in my heart, in my soul, just You.
CHO: You alone I desire to know,
YAHUWAH, Lord, how I love You so . . .
YAHUWAH, You”re the One and Only God
this world needs to know, yes know.
3. In a world full of hungry minds and hearts
who search for what satisfies,
Seeking after all earthly pleasures,
none of which truly gratifies.
CHO: May they find the true path to You,
that they may drink living waters true,
Like the deer and like those of us
who thirsted long after You, just You.
[Original Tune: Bless this House/Revised Lyrics]
1. Bless this time O Lord we pray,
We’ve looked forward to this day.
From our routines, time away,
From the Path, we dare not stray,
Sabbath keepers, if we may
live for Thee from day to day.
2. Celebrate the family,
Each life is a gift from Thee,
Joy and blessing have they been,
near or far and though unseen,
May they come to know Thee more,
love Thee much more than before.
[Name your loved ones one by one at this time,
and pray for specific concerns regarding each one.]

[Original Tune: What a friend we have in Jesus/Revised Lyrics]
1. What great friends have we been given
by the God Who sees through all,
He’s the One Who puts together
those of us who hear His call.
Strangers once were we, unknowing,
He would link our chain of lives,
One connection to another,
all relationships survive.
2. Central is He to relations,
whether friend or family,
Work might be our sole connection,
yet how fortunate are we . . . .
When we link with one another,
Worshipping the One True God,
We shall never ever sever
Ties that bind us thru our God.
3. Should we ever have to part ways,
rest assured we’re one in heart,
Each connected to the other,
even when we are apart.
Are we chosen by YAHUWAH,
when we choose Him as our Lord,
God of Israel and Gentiles,
all committed to His Word.
SHABBAT SHALOM,
Sinaites, Jews and Gentiles, Messianics,
Sabbath Keepers, all over the world!
