I Lite This Candle For You.

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)

Rhymed
I light this candle for you,
In a special way,
I was on my knees,
Praying the other day,

I asked for a little guidance,
So that you might even see,
I prayed for a little mercy,
Upon your soul,so free,

I looked into the heavens,
To see if God was there,
And to my astonishment,
He was every where,

I light this candle for you,
And prayed for you too,
Knowing God will keep you,
No matter what you do.
