1) The candle of HOPE
Hope for the hopeless and hope for the lost.
No matter the price, whatever the cost.
Jesus had come and was willing to pay
being born as a babe that first Christmas day.
Hope that's a certainty, hope that is sure.
Though the earth is shaken I am secure.
Trusting in Jesus and safe in His care.
Knowing that He's with me and always there.
2) The candle of PEACE
Peace, all other peace transcending
Peace so eternal and unending.
Peace that passes all understanding
Peace so perfect and undemanding
Peace lovely peace floods into my soul
Peace of healing making me whole
Peace from God, peace from heaven.
Peace, Jesus whispers deep within.
3) The candle of JOY
The candle is burning, its flame so bright
and joy flooded my soul with great delight.
For the light of life had shone upon me
lifting me to the heights of ecstasy.
Joy unspeakable and full of glory
as I remembered the Christmas story.
How The Almighty God had come to earth
born as a baby through by virgin birth
4) The candle of LOVE
The candle of God's love burns bright
brightening up the darkest night.
It turns mere water into wine
and earthly things become divine
