for so long we walk in darkness

hoping to find the way

but without something or someone to guide us

we stumble blindly day after day



so He lights candles in hopes that we'll see

glimpses of Him in this mystery

that we'll leave shadows and move toward the flame

and we move closer we'll see His face...



to face with the One who made mountains

who hung the stars in the sky

He is love and loved us so much

that He was willing to die



dies for the man on the corner

who sold his soul years ago

and now knows of only regret

to trade His life for the woman

who doesn't think mercy

is something that she'll ever get



hope to all who are hopeless

who've ever known kindness

He has not forgotten your name

you are loved by the One Who

with His Own hands has made you

and love you forever the same
