You Are Here – v4

We light Your candle, bring Your light

into our dark sanctuary;

We do this not to draw You in, Lord,

for You are here, already here with us.

By our gathering alone, You are here

for that, we thank You, oh God.

We light the candles, illuminating,

reminding us, forgetful as we are,

of Your continuing presence;

You light all of our days, forever.

Living within us in community

and within us, in the hidden places,

those secret places of our hearts.
