Light yourself a candle
A story it will tell
Always old and never new
One we know very well.
For all You have given,
Thank You God.
For all You have withheld,
Thank You God.
For all You have withdrawn,
Thank You God.
When everything seems to go wrong, just push
when the job gets you down, just push
when people don’t react the way you think they should, just push
I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.

She looks up at me,
with those sad dark eyes.
The pain she feels,
she keeps in disguise.

overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me
in the desolation of other times.
Dear God, With this prayer
I call to mind my friends.

May angels fill their nights
And bless their days.

Keep me from becoming talkative and possessed
with the idea that I must express myself
on every subject.

Father, I ask you to bless my friend reading this right now! Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
I know it seems you’re all alone
No one to really care, With such a heavy burden
That you alone must bear.
