I LIT A CANDLE

I lit a candle for you today

And asked God to guide you along the way.



He knows what you want and what you need;

In you, He has planted a tiny seed.

Faith from this tiny seed springs,

Lifting you as though on wings.

Nurture it; allow it to grow,

So that through you, His love will flow,

Showing this world a glorious sight

Emitting from you, a soft glowing light.



I lit a candle for you today

And asked God to bless you in every way.
