This is a song I wrote during a time of national anxiety. It feels like an appropriate time to drag the old thing out again. Peace. Wherever you are.
Light a candle of peace in my world
let it illumine the darkness
Light a candle of peace in my heart
let it transform me today
Extinguish all my false hopes and desires
and grant me the vision to see
all the evil that I have wrought
to make what should not be
Light a candle of peace in my world
let it illumine the darkness
Light a candle of peace in my heart
let it transform me today
Grant me the peace that is Yours
I ask you, Lord, now in prayer
so that I may have the strength to shine
in a world full of doubt and despair;
Light a candle of peace in my world
let it illumine the darkness
Light a candle of peace in my heart
let it transform me today
Lord of the light, and Lord of the darkness
Lord you have power over all
Lord I beseech you to give me your light
So that I might fulfill your call.
