The Candle (Burning Bright)

We were made to burn bright,

But fall followed close,

A wind swept over our light,

A cold chill surrounded.

I am Your candle, burning for new life.

You reignite the soul,

A flame burns again,

Slowly we feel more whole,

Yet some stay in the dark.

I am your candle, burning endless love.

Lord, let our light shine far,

Glory in Your name,

Make us like a shining star,

In hope of making sparks.

I am your candle, burning in the truth.

Let Your aroma flow,

A scent of comfort,

And although the wax burns slow,

Change never eludes You.

I am your candle, burning in mercy.

Over us, You take reign,

Sins, flaws, melt away,

As does all my past pain,

You expose true beauty.

I am your candle, burning desire.

We are left bare, naked,

Unashamed display,

The reason we're created,

To commune with You, God.

I am your candle, burning to the end.

Ceremony

My dear bride groom, As You prepare our banquet, I ask, take charge of my house, Run it with Your grace. I lovingly display, These windows for Your judgement, Let Your mercy shine through them, That they may be cleansed. I submit to Your light, Renew my heart to softness, Smooth over the sharp edges, So it absorbs hate. I am but a servant, I take You, as my only God, A declaration to hold, from this day forward. I am devoted to You, for the better or the worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health. You have me to hold You,  To cherish You when I’m blessed, To praise You in the valley, Death cannot part us.

My Mountain

My God, seated upon the highest mountain, A monument from the foundation you laid, You are my rock, a towering fortress in the sky, Where clouds engulf the earth. I flee to you for safety, A fortified position of strength, Where only the wise will tread, Your aura can be felt for miles. Fleeting winds surround You, My enemies dare not come near, You bring a thunderous wrath, An echoing shout rumbling through valleys. Yet for me, Your summit calmly rains down blessings, Life giving water springs growth around, Soaking through for firm roots, Flowing in my veins, up to my heart. Come with me Lord, Let’s take this love wherever we go, Like the tabernacle set on Jerusalem, You are  the mountain in me.

Bountiful God

Lord, Spring forth well water, Fill my cup with Your grace, Let it overflow, Always everlasting. Lift my great burden, Come let my shackles break, Freedom from my sin, By your great sacrifice. Now I see the truth, In Your fruitful meadows, The golden fields, A season of new life. You water the ground, You shine in the valley, You care for nature, And clothe me in splendor.
