THE ADORATION

Grant Oh and Riley Oh, Honored Scholars Adapted from Psalm 23:1-6, 2 Corinthians 5:7, John 1:5, Isaiah 40:30-31, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 5:3, 1 Peter 5:10, Psalm 16:8, 11

Leader:

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

All:

I walk by faith not by sight, for the light of God shines in the darkness,

Leader:

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall

All:

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Leader:

God knows the plans He has for us, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope.

All:

He makes us lie down in green pastures. He leads us beside still waters. He restores our souls.

Leader:

Let us rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.

All:

And after we have suffered, the God of all grace will restore, confirm, and strengthen us.

Leader:

I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

All:

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
