Aida & First Love Music - Candle In The Dark

Jesus our Lord
Before he went away
Commissioned his disciples
To go and teach all nations

This commission was extensive
It was an obligation for the disciples
To disperse themselves
To every nation, every corner of the inhabited globe
To preach to every creature
Without exception, without limitation

Oh, be a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
A light to the world
Be a witness for my Lord
Please send me into this dark world
Please use me somehow
Oh Lord, as a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark

Many attempts at the Great Commission
Have been made by many Christians
Since the days of the first apostles
But I regret to report that the work of God
Has not been taken up seriously
Nor has it been prosecuted
With the zeal and perseverance
Of the early Christian church
Indeed there were candles in the dark

Oh, be a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
A light to the world
Be a witness for my Lord

Please send me into this dark world
Please use me somehow
Oh Lord, as a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark

Many people say, "The commission is completed,
By the ministry of the apostles"
They say "We have many souls in our own countries
If God intends the salvation of the world
He will somehow bring the gospel to them
Or bring them to the gospel!"
Today most Christians sit at ease
Have no concern for lost sinners
They don't wanna be candles in the dark

Oh, be a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
A light to the world
Be a witness for my Lord
Please send me into this dark world
Please use me somehow
Oh Lord, as a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark

For the consideration of you who sit at ease
I offer these observations (What are your observations?)
If the whole body of Christians
Entered heartily into the Great Commission
And loved the souls of their fellow creatures
More than they love themselves
And more than they love their own lives
They could become candles in the dark!
They could become saviors of this world!
Candles in the dark!

Oh, be a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
A light to the world
Be a witness for my Lord
Please send me into this dark world
Please use me somehow
Oh Lord, as a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
I wanna be a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
A light to the world
Be a witness for my Lord
Please send me into this dark world
Please use me somehow
Oh Lord, as a candle in the dark
Lord, I wanna be a candle in the dark
Be a candle in the dark
