Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Acts 2:38-39 Lyrics: 1 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
the fearful web of selfishness,
of arrogance and pride,
that traps my spirit, snares my will,
entangles me in sin.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.
2 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
to sweep away this tangled web
in which I try to hide.
Redeem my spirit, free my will,
and help me to begin.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.
3 Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see inside
to find compassion, joyful hope,
and faith may now abide
within the place where once a web
of selfishness had been.
Love, light a candle in my heart
that I may see within.
