I Am a Candle
I am a candle
Because God loves me
I have a new heart
And faith to see.
I am a candle
Standing tall
Set on His path
I've heard His call.
I am a candle
Shining a light
In the darkness
And into the night.
I am a candle
With others upon this land
And we cannot be hid
For we obey His command.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine
before men, that they
may see your good works,
and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
