====Lighting of the Advent Candles====
Turn your ear, O Lord, and give answer
 
for I am poor and needy.
 
Preserve my life, for I am faithful;
 
save the servant who trusts in you.
 
 
You are my God, have mercy on me, Lord,
 
for I cry to you all the day long.
 
Give joy to your servant, O Lord,
 
for to you I lift up my soul.
 
 
O Lord, you are good and forgiving,
 
full of love to all who call.
 
Give heed, O Lord, to my prayer
 
and attend to the sound of my voice.
 
 
In the day of distress I will call
 
and surely you will reply.
 
Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord,
 
nor work to compare with yours.
 
 
All the nations shall come to adore you
 
and glorify your name, O Lord,
 
for you are great and do marvelous deeds,
 
you who alone are God.

====Romans 10:8-13====
 
Paul wrote: The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
