The Candle Lighting

 The Candle Lighting

 There is a multitude of people;

Gathering from all around.

Waiting for Christmas festivities;

To illuminate the town.

Twinkling lights along the roadside;

A parade of carolers;

Singing noel, noel, noel, noel;

While listeners are stirred.

Shopping is open, and cocoa is served.

People coming in from the cold;

Registers ringing, ching, ching, ching, ching;

Gifts for both young and old.

Everyone is handed a candle;

All come together to pray.

Then a sea of candle lights, light the streets;

In honor of Christmas day.

Children sing  oh, halleluiah;

In a live nativity.

All to honor God's gift to the world:

God's love sent to you and me.
