Ignite the Candles

Light up my life
ignite the candles
individual flames alit
endless candelabra
tiered and terraced
adoring the courts of my heart
a glimpse of the image
of your courts, lit from within
deep in our hearts
not hid under a bushel
up on the lamp stands
of our spirits
sharing your love
your message of hope
redemption in Christ
all of our days
to be with you Lord
in your presence
sharing our walk
at your feet
ignite the candles
ablaze with you
to share, to proclaim
to preach, to shout
loving all of us
loving you
