Go light your world-- Chandy

Right now I am sitting in our sanctuary. I love it. It is the middle of the day and the sun is shining through the original stained glass from when our building was built in 1910. On days when I'm lucky I like to come in here and turn the music up and worship by myself. Right now I have the opportunity to do that. I'm just sitting here praising to an amazing song while one of the local street men who I call "John the Baptist" is in another corner painting and singing along. This song just came on by Chris Rice and I just paused and realized what it was saying. How appropriate. God is good today!


There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Cause We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
