Light a Candle (Lori True)

  Light a candle in the darkness

Through the days of warring madness

Light a candle, keep it burning,

Shine a path to peace returning.

Light a candle, warm and caring

For the fearful and despairing

Light a candle, soul revealing,

Ardent prayers for hope and healing.

                       

Light a path to lasting peace,

Here at the greatest and the least,

Light a candle, keep it glowing,

See the reign of God is growing,

Light a path to every nation,

It's time for reconciliation,

Light a candle, light the way to peace.

                                               

Light a candle firmly holding

To the dream of love's unfolding.

Light a candle in the darkness

Till we end our warring madness.

Light a candle in its gleaming,

See a ray of hope now streaming,

Light a candle, keep it burning,

Radiant path for peace returning.

                       

Refrain

                       

Light a candle for tomorrow,

Let it shine through all the sorrow.

Light a candle, softly glowing,

Ray of kindness overflowing.

Light a candle for a new day --

Now's the time to choose a new way,

Light a candle flame unceasing,

Let the love begin increasing.

Refrain

Please pray for all those living in situations
            of violence at this time.
