Keep That Candle Burning

copyright 1994 Mary K. Wykes

The night is dark and lonely,

icy chill blowing right through me.

I shiver as I face into the wind.

Gentle light of candle burning

in the valley down below

reminds me of

a star

that led the way

so long ago.

***

Oh keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.

So PLEASE

Keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.

***

My candle's flame is flickering;

I shield it from the wind.

I need its light to help me find my way.

Thought the night is growing darker,

storm clouds gather in the sky,

I'll keep going

til I rest

in my belonging place

***

Oh keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.

So PLEASE

Keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.

***

I know where I am going,

where darkness has no place

where there will be

just one, eternal Day.

And we'll all lay down our candles.

We won't need them any more,

when we stand as Bride

before the bright,

the Morning Star.

***

Oh keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.

So PLEASE

Keep that candle burning

in your little corner of the world!

The darker it gets, the more we need the light.
