1 Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus, to reach out and touch him and say that we love him.
2 Open our ears, Lord and help us to listen. Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus.

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Stand up Straight, be very relaxed, breathe deeply in through your nose and sing each pitch by releasing the air keeping a solid core…
…Once again: Big Breaths and Relax.

America, America, G-d shed His grace on thee
and crowned thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea……………..

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

REPEAT SONG and sing”Let it Shine, Let it Shine, Let it Shine” 3X’s at the end.

1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy justice like mountains high soaring above thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 To all, life thou givest, to both great and small; in all life thou livest, the true life of all; we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.
4 Thou reignest in glory, thou dwellest in light, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; all laud we would render, O help us to see, ’tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.
