So as some of you may know, I attend a Christian camp in the summer. One of the songs we sing really gets me, and it means so much to me.
We have worship at night, and one night we walked down to the lake, which is quite a hike. It was dark and everyone lit candles and we sat on the beach while the director played the guitar, and we sang this song.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me
Once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but he is strong
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
One of those lights on the water is mine
One of those candle's my life passing by
And only tonight as I watch from the shoreline
Wondering within me, which candle am I?
Is my light that one with the far reaching glow?
Floating so daringly way out ahead
Or am I that second light, steady and low?
Following humbly where others have lead
One of those lights on the water is mine
One of those candle's my life passing by
And only tonight as I watch from the shoreline
Wondering within me, which candle am I?
Could I belong to that group of wax lanterns
Sailing so glibly away from the rest?
Intent on weaving their own candle patterns
Intended to drift on the river's soft crest
One of those lights on the water is mine
One of those candle's my life passing by
And only tonight as I watch from the shoreline
Wondering within me, which candle am I?
One candle dreamingly lags behind
It's flickering glow I can just barely see
Searching, groping, yet steering to find
Surely that light doesn't represent me
One of those lights on the water is mine
One of those candle's my life passing by
And only tonight as I watch from the shoreline
Wondering within me, which candle am I?
Dear God if You too see these candles go by, then God answer softly
Which candle am I?
One of those lights on the water is mine
One of those candle's my life passing by
And only tonight as I watch from the shoreline
Wondering within me, which candle am I?
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me
Hallelujah
It is such a peaceful song, and whenever I listen to it I smile instantly.
