Light a Candle (Ralston)

Light a candle in the world tonight
Watch the darkness fade
Everything that’s wrong will be made right
when Messiah comes to stay

Light a candle in the world tonight
Let it shine across these plains
Nothing shatters darkness like a light
We’ve been provided one again

In our hour of darkest sorrow
In our time of greatest need
There’s no need to beg or borrow
Elohim will intercede

Light a candle in the world for peace
You guard its flame against the rain
Every captive heart will find release
and every shackle come unchained

Light a candle in the world tonight
Let it shine across these hills
You won’t change the world but you just might
cause a dream to be fulfilled

In our hour of darkest sorrow
In our time of greatest need
There’s no need to beg or borrow
Elohim will intercede

Light a candle in the world tonight
Watch the darkness fade
Everything that’s wrong will be made right
when Messiah comes to stay

Light a candle in the world tonight
Let it shine across the plains
Every captive heart will find release
and every shackle come unchained
