The Candle
When she gave her life to Jesus
He lit a candle in her heart
To shine His light into a world
That was hopeless and extremely dark
The flame burned brightly once
With passion and with desire
And the Light of God was seen
Reflecting in her eyes
Time went on, and the flame
Did not burn as bright
As it had in the years before
The light was slowly fading, almost
Hidden, behind her hearts door
She use to burn with compassion
And had mercy for the lost
She was once driven, by conviction
And daily took up her cross
She once spent time in the word
And oh, how her spirit yearned
For more of God and His ways
But now, she barely even had
The time to commune with God, and pray
She knew, her flame was dying
She knew, something had to be done fast
For if she could not keep the fire going
The light, would go out in her heart
Many things throughout the years
Had dampened out the flame inside
And now the candle, was hidden
When once it had burned clear and bright
She was no longer a light in her dark world
She no longer held out her candle for all to see
She was slowly growing cold, the fire in her heart
Was now, nearly out completely
Sad and defeated, she sat, not knowing what to do
Then the Holy Spirit came along,
And on the candle He blew
In her state of defeat she listened,
As the Spirit drew her near
“Keep the candle burning, My child, He said
And do not let it be quenched, by all your fears
Fear will cause your light to grow dim
The only way to keep the candle burning
Is to fix your eyes on Jesus, and focus on Him
I am the Fuel
God is the Fire,
And JESUS is the Light
You need to stay close, and stay in the WORD
If you want to keep your candle, burning bright
The moment you distance yourself, and
Get caught up with worldly things
You will find that your candle will barely flicker
And its light will grow very dim
Keep your flame burning,
Ignite it, and do not let the light fade
Keep in the WORD,
Stay close and take the time to pray
Allow ME to search your heart and your soul
Allow Me to heal you, transform you,
And make you whole
Be real with Me, and real with men
Do not hide Your heart and pretend
Don’t be something or someone you are not
Let your eyes, once again, reflect the Light of God
I called you to be a Light to the world
Hold your candle out for all to see
Light the candle and let it burn bright
So that the world will be drawn to ME"
