| My Candle |
|
In my heart there's a candle, Put there by my Lord, one night. As I went to the altar, He put inside me a glowing light. |
Because I trusted Him, He put it high upon a stand; Just as a ship, out at sea, Could see the Lighthouse on the land. |
|
He's my Saviour and my Lighthouse, Who saw and reeled me in ~ When I was lost, way out at sea, And sinking deep in sin. |
I pray I keep my candle lit, Held up high that all might see The joy of marching on ~ To show others the way to victory. |
|
The old cross was the stand And He is the great Lighthouse Holding my candle high, for me to see; My heart to arouse ... |
With me knowing in my heart, When I kneel down in Prayer, One day, my Lighthouse will beckon The Angels to bring me there. |
|
Help me keep my candle lit, Lord, for all the more to see. Hold it up to the passer-by, So he may more clearly know Thee. |
Help me in the twilight Lord, To neatly trim my candle's wick; That it might shine more brightly, For the healthy and the sick. |
|
Help me, upon this road of life, To spread Thy word around. Though they are in written form, Let my candle light up the ground ... |
Where people walk daily And, maybe, cannot clearly see ~ So, when the Angels bring me home, In my heart, may there a shining candle be. |
