We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit

We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

I choose to joy in the presence of the Lord my God;

I choose to live for Him with joy faithfully.

Though at times I've felt alone, rejected and mocked;

Tempted to be angry upset and to quit.

I know God will give me wisdom in my choices each day;

I choose to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.

Prayin'  ev'ry day, keep the devil away.

There are consequences for the choices that we make;

That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

Love one another, be tender hearted and kind;

Confess our sins daily, walk worthy and shine.

He will give us strength, mount us up on eagle's wings;

All things work together for good, in His time.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;

I choose  to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.

Prayin' ev'ry day, keep the devil away.

There are consequences for the choices that we make;

That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;

Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.

Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;

I choose  to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

 Psalms 30:5b
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

 Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together 

for good to them that love God, to them who 

are the called according to his purpose.
