I love writing poetry for worship. I hope you like these poems to be read in worship or to be used at home or in those quiet moments when you find yourself alone and needing a bit of inspiration...
Light One Candle - HOPE
Here at the table we gather together
We take the time, no matter the weather
To light our first candle, to bring on the light
'Cause a world filled with darkness,
Needs something quite bright!
It starts with a candle,
And spreads through the people,
And they begin shining
From barnyard to steeple.
And though some are sleeping,
And some have lost hope,
Lighting a candle is one way to cope.
So we wake from our sleep and sit at the table
Turn off the cell phone and shut off the cable
We pray together and worship in song
So the nights of this Winter,
Won't seem quite as long. (Light one candle)
