“Light My Candle”
Thanks for being the candle
In my night
AS LIGHT AND DARK ARE NECESSARY OPPOSITES, SO ARE OUR EXISTENCES CONTINGENT ONE UPON THE OTHER, FOR DARKNESS CAN ONLY EXIST IN THE ABSECENCE OF LIGHT, AND THE LIGHT’S SOLE PURPOSE IS TO ILLUMINATE THE DARK.
SO IT IS WITH THE DARKNESS THAT CLOUDS MY HOLLOW MIND, IT CAN ONLY PREVAIL IN YOUR ABSENCE, AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH OUR GOD SENT YOU TO ME IS TO BRING HIS LIGHT INTO THE SHADOWS OF MY ILL LIT HEART.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL SENT TO CALL ME BACK TO HEAVEN’S GATES, FOR THROUGH HELL I TRUDGED WITHOUT YOUR TOUCH, YET I PONDER HERE, IF NEVER WERE HE LOST CAN a man BE FOUND? SO AS WAS I BEFORE YOU CAME TO SHEPHERD ME AS I had gone TOO FAR ASTRAY.
EVERY HOPE BEGINS WITH AN UNGRANTED WISH, FOR IF EVERY WISH WERE FILLED WHAT THEN WOULD THERE BE left FOR WHICH TO HOPE?
COUNTLESS TIMES I’VE PRAYED FOR LOVE LIKE YOURS TO CROSS MY PATH AND finally our lord gave you to me to light my way…
