Epiphany 5    Matthew 5:13-20  (vs 13-16)

Salt and Light (YA No 21)

Jesus said, “You are salt for creation;

You are salt of tremendous worth.”

Jesus said, “You are salt for creation;

You bring flavour to this wondrous earth.”

If you’re salty,

Not found faulty,

You can help the reign of God extend;

In this story

Here’s the glory,

You are called to be God’s friend.

Jesus said, “You are light in the darkness;

Cities built on the hills can’t hide.”

Jesus said, “You are light in the darkness;

Lifted high your light shines far and wide.”

Under food-bowls,

Down in deep holes

Light cannot be seen by anyone;

If you do good

Others then would

Praise, because of what you’ve done.
