Light a Candle, Say a Prayer

​

When life becomes hard to bear . . .

Light a candle . . . say a prayer.

Trials of life make us strong.

Improve our sense of right and wrong.

Every little slip and stumble . . .

Gives us strength and makes us humble.

Sorrows keep us down-to-earth . . .

Leading us closer to our worth.

Hopefulness brings consoling . . .

Faithfulness brings consoling.

Light a candle, say a prayer . . .

There is nothing God cannot repair.
