Sara's Poems

 

 

Candle of Love, Candle of Light

 

Candle of Love

You lit up the sky

Candle of Light

With a lullaby

A star was lit

in the Eastern sky that night

And still in our hearts

and over our land

The Candle of Love

shines bright.

 

Our praises ring

of Jesus’ birth

long ago in a land of dark

A Candle of Love was lit

For all the earth.

 

Jesus was born and

A candle in the Heavens above

Cast its warm glow

Over the Manger below

Heavenly voices joined in praise

earthly choirs Hallelujahs raise

Celebrations throughout the world

exhilaration of most high

The birth of our King and our Lord!

 

Candle of Love,

One in the hand

Spread your warmth

Throughout the land.

Candle of Light

One in the heart,

Shine bright on

this Holy Night.

 

The greatest birthday of all  the world;

A candle burns for Thee

Kings, queens, saints, and lords

None of these do our hearts belong

As heavenly voices sing in praise;

And earthly choirs join in song,

to Jesus –a Wonder to amaze.

 

Candle of Love,

candle of light

Forever burn so bright.

Held in the heart.

Candle of Light

Held in the hand.

Shine bright tonight.

 

Our Praises ring

Our voices sing

Candle of Light

Shine bright tonight.

 

Burn, burn!  Your light so white

Candle of Love, Candle of light

Signify our love for Jesus

On this Holy Night.
