Ignite the Candles – v3

Set me ablaze

ignite the candles

individual flames alit

endless candelabras

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 within me

to share, to proclaim

to preach, to shout

loving all of us

loving You
