lyrics
12. Candle of the Lord
How great the darkness, how deep the need!
How vast the problems of indifference, hate and greed;
A world rejecting the truth once known,
And slipping down into a nightmare of its own;
Is there a light that's strong enough to go,
And metamorphasize the darkness that we know?
I am a candle of the Lord, with truth and love more powerful than sword!
o fan the flame, its single gleam diffuse,
And let my spirit be the light that You can use.
I am the candle of the Lord. Light mel Light me!
How bright the light is from soul to soul:
A myriad tiny flames expanding to a whole,
How strange the truth is when joined as one,
And what a miracle this shining could become;
It could transform the darkness that we know,
And clearly light the way mankind must try to go.
