Advent - Candle Lighting

A candle is burning, a candle of PEACE

A candle to signal that conflict must cease

For Jesus is coming to show us the way

A message of PEACE humbly laid in the hay

A candle is burning, a flame warm and bright

A Candle HOPE in December’s dark night

Like Mary we sing praises to the Lord God, most high

Our hearts we prepare now, for Jesus is nigh

A candle is burning, a candle of JOY

A candle to welcome brave Mary’s new boy

Our hearts fill with wonder and eyes light and glow

As JOY brightens winter like sunshine on snow

A candle is burning, a candle of LOVE

A candle to point us to heaven above

A baby for Christmas, a wonderful birth

For Jesus is bring God’s LOVE to the earth.

Song to"Away in the Manger"
