Ignite the Candles – v6

Set me ablaze
ignite my candles
individual flames alight;
Endless candelabras,
tiered and terraced,
adorning the courts of my heart.

A glimpse of the image
of Your courts, lit from within,
deep in our hearts;
Not hidden under a bushel
up on the lampstands
of our spirits, our lives.

Sharing Your love,
Your message of hope,
our redemption in Christ;
All of our days
to be with You Lord
abiding 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.
