Lord it is dark
the road is rough to go
my burdens are heavy
to carry they grow
The brightness of my candle
once there grew dim
if I could only touch
your precious garment's hem
This unlit candle Lord
my faith without a spark
please light my candle
to take away the dark
Then the road I travel
will never be the same
my steps will be swift
quick as a lifting flame
I shall live lighthearted
through all of my days
my faith restoreth new
in joyful, countless ways
Why walk without faith
with a candle in the wind
when your precious blood Lord
from heaven did descend
It covers all of mankind
with feathers of a white dove
let the candles burn brightly
with faith, walk with love
Susie Swanson, 2012
