Light the Candles

Light the candles, smell them burning,

While the gospel, men are churning,

And the hearts of men not turning

From their sins. And God not learning.

Religious practice is their cover.

Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over.

Godless idols are their lover.

Righteousness is not their mover.

Wickedness is what is leading,

While they go on now deceiving,

And the lies they’re now believing.

And their sins they are not grieving.

Women, now, you are included,

Which you might now have concluded,

Some of you, too, are deluded, 

So your sin you’ve not eluded.

Jesus Christ is now your answer,

For He should be your commander,

Suffered, died, and he is risen,

So to free you from your prison.

Turn from your sin, follow Jesus,

For from sin our Lord does free us.

Walk with Jesus, serve him daily,

Worship Him, in truth, not vaguely.
