Candle

Each of us
Has a candle
A fire inside
That we will not hide

Let your candle glow
Let the Word of God flow
Go to the place of dark
And with a little spark
Let power go

We will raise our candle
And light up the sky
Bringing the Word
To the dark deep
And to the ones on high
In the name of Jesus
We will shine for all to see
For His name we will be
A light to all
So that none will perish
Or fall

Our own candle is not much to behold
It does not provide much heat
When it is cold
But when Jesus is our candle
It becomes more than we can handle
It becomes a fire and a flame
That will light the dark and put to shame
Sin, sickness, and heal the lame
Jesus we do all this in Your Name!
