Story of the Four Candles
Just see how short this candle is, this candle that I hold.
It represents a man, who found the Lord when he was old,
And though His light is shining now, and bright beyond a doubt,
He hasn't much to give because his light will soon be out.
This candle that I have will burn much longer than the other,
I love its glowing light, don't you? It represents a mother,
Who found the Lord in middle age; her children were all grown.
If only she had known the Lord when they were still at home.
This candle is a longer one. It represents a youth,
Who gave her heart to God and walks the path of right and truth.
Her light can shine out long and bright with many trophies won,
With more to give because she found the Lord when she was young.
This candle is the longest one I'm sure you'll like it best,
Because you now 'twill shed its light much longer than the rest.
It represents a little child who heard the call and came
With many years to serve the Lord and shine in Jesus’ Name.
