No Candle Needed

as i light a candle for you i brake down and cry for i have done everything i think i should do i have sat people down in a pew of there own even greeted and said "good morning" and "hello" i gave the change that was in my cup holder and i save the bulletins i keep in a folder i tell people what i do for you and how much i give over a drink or two , not to brag or boast just so they no that i am in your house i never curse always pray for the things i want but when i am home i'm on the phone telling everybody the the Joneses are divorcing ,and the Wagner's are in foreclosure, it's harmless. we yell at each other because we have guilt and shame cursing you using your name in vain nothing ever changes my prayers you never even consider i am tired of all this there has to be more all the good deeds i have done for you mean nothing in your sight so true dirty vessel cold and stained in my heart of guilt and shame need the emptiness purged and filled need a savior to fill the need for the stains of the past have already been washed away he spilled his blood for me and that is true to take away the sin of the world and leave me white as new if you are empty and nothing is new give your life to JESUS do his will for the life you lead is now gonna be dead pick up your mat and walk and sin no more i tell you the truth your stains will be gone because they have been washed away
