Spiritual Candles

So many candles light so bright my dark path
I know my sins can ignite God's unmerciful wrath
So I kneel and pray with the candles before me
It's God's will for this day my soul belongs in eternity!

Each candle that burns fills my soul with such happiness
My heart yearns for self control and so my sins I confess!
I arise from my knees and blow out each candle
Overcoming my spiritual disease there's nothing God can't handle!

Written specifically for Carolyn Devonshire's contest "Spirits in Light"
