THE CANDLE
Author(s): Michael Mountain
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Animals,

So many hands reach from the darkness,
Some are reaching for the Light.
Their faces filled with fascination,
Like hope and joy has hypnotized.
Still others try to quench our Light;
They've been exposed and they're enra-a-aged.
Only in lies is their delight,
Against the truth their war is wa-aged,
Their war is wa-a-a-aaged.

Chorus:
We're like a light in the ni-i-iight,
A flame and candle so bri-i-i-i-ight.
We're burning free in our fight
To guide the world with His Light.
The greatest danger to the Light
Are tender hands of ones so dear.
Against these hands is your greatest fight.
I think by now the warning's clear.
For they will smother you with safety,
And they will quench you with their ca-are-
You'd best bewa-a-a-a-are!

The helpful hands are heavenly, so heavenly,
Supplying oil when you're in need.
The Lord, the Keeper of the flame,
Is ever near, just call His Name.
Burn free, beloved, don't quench His fire.
Go now and set this world afla-a-ame.
Above their ashes of traditions the truth must ri-ise.
Burn free, beloved, 'cause this is your day,
Oh, this is your da-ay-ayay.

[Repeat chorus twice]
