ONE CANDLE

Light one candle. Let it shine.

You never know what you may find.

To help some lost one, mired in sin.

Just one candle will let Christ in!

-------------------------------

In the darkness, I trip and fall.

I see no one but hear a call.

A voice rings out, soft but clear:

"Right this way! There's nothing to fear!"

Feeling along a rough-hewn way,

Not sure of the end, whether night or day.

If only one candle to see what's there –

I don't want to fall into some animal's lair.

Is anyone there with one little light?

I feel so lost in this hellish blight!

That soft clear call is now a roar.
Please! Someone save me from Satan's door!

Ah! One candle shining in!

The Hand of God has sent a friend.

Just one candle's enough to see.

Thank you, God, for saving me! 

I’m saved when I obey Your Word. 
Thank you, God, that I’ve now heard. 
I’m blessed one person cared for me – 
And with one candle, set me free.

I’ll pass to others what God’s word tells 
To save one soul from Satan’s Hell. 
I’m only one candle, but now I see – 
Because only one candle led you to me.

I’ll “pay it forward” and be one light 
To lead another out of night. 
I pray my candle will show someone 
The way to Jesus ’ere their life is done. 

- by Netagene. I wrote most of this in less that 30 minutes on January 22, 2014. In Steve Murrell's sermon on Sunday, January 19, he said something about "one candle". I thought he was referring to a song, and of course I wanted a copy. He told me later that it wasn't a song, but something in a TV commercial. Well, it's a song now! -
