A Light Within

Inspiration line: I light my candle from within Dear Lord, I know you’d never give to me, More grief than I can tolerate, that’s true. But Lord I also know without a doubt I could not bear the sorrow without You. Just as I think the world too dark and drear To hold the grief I feel, the sun comes out. My soul is lit, I feel your presence near, And my whole being does a turn-about. Once more the sky is blue, the clouds are gone, I feel your lighted candle in my heart. Though kith and kin are leaving one by one, I still have You who’ve been here from the start. With You beside me Lord, the world has joy; And there has been more happiness than pain. Your promise is enough to see me through, With knowledge that I’ll see them once again. For Contest: By Candle Light
