You are the flame, I am the candle
My soul is the wick that holds the flame
Flicker a spark and light up my soul
I am but an instrument of your love
Indeed, in the darkness, O God
,You kindled a fire in my soulin an instant,
a spark,
a glimpseof which I can not still comprehend
incomparable, on this dark wide night tempests amount to suppress your light
keep your light burning, your fire , the love you’ve placed within my heart
Cover me, o God from the rain
that the flame continually burn
Shield me O God from the wind that threatens to fan out the flame
Support me O God from the earth firm through the tremors and sways
Protect me O God from fiery firelest i be devoured and consumed
For your flame is not the fire that devours
your’s is the light that softly glows
Unequaled in greatness yet never pressing
A wonder, how swiftly and gently it flows
Breath into me, O God,that the fire ignited engulf me in time
keep the flame burning
Enflame me with your enduring love
Breath into me, O God that the fire in me illumine others
let it show the way
the way that travails through the void
Breath into me, O God
rekindle others’, the weak’s, the mindless’
the half burnt wicks of those that stand by
Breath onto me, O God
Especially when the flame flickers
Strengthen me in desolation
Embrace me with your inspirations
O burn me with the fire of your love
into your light melt my human form
smoldering suffering I must face,
let me do so with delight
I await the day my humanity melts to the ground
Extinguish not the flame, this but I pray
’til the last wisp of smoke,
the breath of my soul purifed,
ascends to join you at last.
that your flame now ablaze
