LIGHT A CANDLE
performed by Shelly Rann, Nashville
Such an ordinary gesture, strike a match, start a flame
and the glow of a candle illuminates a precious name.
Listen to all the voices as they sing Amazing Grace
watch the hot wax dripping slowly like the tears that burn your face.
Light a candle, Light a candle
In honor of the one who's gone.
One small candle in the darkness
before the breaking of the dawn.
In a time too short to measure, the candle's fire will cease to be
and like that life that it’s honored it's glow will fade to memory
But in the stillness of the night's sky when your heart is in despair,
Heaven lights a star of comfort to let you know your loved one is there.
Light a candle, Light a candle
In honor of the one who's gone.
One small candle in the darkness
before the breaking of the dawn.
That eternal Dawn will come someday for each of us
and that hand we love will once again reach for us.
Light a candle, Light a candle
In honor of the one who's gone.
One small candle in the darkness
before the breaking of the dawn.
