Tomorrow is my birthday! We begin the celebrating today! Yesterday I heard this Kathy Troccoli song on Christian radio, it talks about 'go light YOUR candle', not 'light A candle'. Are we asked to light THE world? No, just OUR world.

Birthdays are a perfect time to light candles; being part of God's forever family is a perfect time to light our candles EVERYDAY:

GO LIGHT YOUR WORLD

There is a candle in every soul

Some brightly burning, some dark and cold

There is a Spirit who brings fire

Ignites a candle and makes His home

Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn

Hold out your candle for all to see it

Take your candle, and go light your world

Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to

Light his own candle, some other way

See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to

Still holds a candle without a flame

Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn

Hold out your candle, for all to see it

Take your candle, and go light your world

Take your candle, and go light your world

We are a family whose hearts are blazing

So let's raise our candles and light up the sky

Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus

Make us a beacon in darkest times

Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor

Hold out your candle for all to see it

Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn

Hold out your candle, for all to see it

Take your candle, and go light your world

Take your candle, and go light your world
