Matthew 5:13-16
Salt and Light
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

We are a shining light,
City on a hill that can’t be hidden: A shining light.
And this shining light is the life of Jesus in us: Oh what a light.
The fire of his spirit burns with justice, joy and peace.
And works through our hands and feet.
We are salt of the earth,
Here to purify and flavour: salt of the earth.
Sent through all the earth to love God and love our neighbour: salt of the earth.
As freely as we receive, so freely we must give
And we are his hands and feet.
