“THE CANDLE MASTER”

First GOD has to make the mold.
For this is what HIS Bible has told.
GOD forms each one gently with HIS hands.
HE molded us from earth, dust from HIS land.

With GOD’S love HE makes us all.
GODadded the joy we have in our hearts.
GOD’S love has been there from the start.
Inside our hearts HE can see the flickering flame.
GOD continues to mold us over and over again.

Each one is of a different color.
Some smell sweeter than the others.
As our flames begin to glow
GOD wants each of us to know.
HE doesn’t love one more than another.

Like the hot wax our souls can burn.
When we speak to GOD a lesson we learn.
When the candle begins to shrink up.
Our sins begin to flow out of HIS cup
.
Just like as a candle burns.
The wax begins to drip and fall.
In our lives we make the turns.
As we listen to “OUR FATHER” call.


The flame GOD lights after HIS candles HE creates.
GOD is the candleholder when we break.
It makes HIM sad when the wax becomes torn.
HE is shaping and holding us when we mourn.
HE makes HIS candles simple there is no fuss.
To keep the wick lit is up to us.

GODkeeps HIS candles burning bright.
He protects us both day and night.
Slowly the candle begins to shrink.
GOD reminds us life is over in a blink!

When HE snuffs out our flame.
Our mold soon becomes part of HIS land.
Our soul will be home with HIM once again.
