Take the Light

Oh take the light off me
Give it to those in need
Show we can always be
Careful to love like Thee

Oh take the pride from me
Tear down the garden tree
Comfort the suffering
Show love for all to see

We pray for peace and love to the hurt
The ones who mourn and suffer the worst
Give us a light to shine to the world
Send us to mend the broken-hearted

Oh take the light off me
Give it to poor and weak
Let not the enemy
Triumph in false belief

Oh take my mind from me
Wash it with purity
Mend it to always see
Those lost in tragedy

We pray for peace and love to the hurt
The ones who mourn and suffer the worst
Give us a light to shine to the world
Send us to mend the broken-hearted

Like the widow 'round the corner
Who works two jobs and is spent
We can be a helpful neighbor
And lend a hand to her

Like the ones on every corner
And those who can't pay their rent
We can be financial leaders
To give with open arms

Like the boy who spends his nights
All alone in front of a screen
And in the morning cries out
For strength of mind to be free

Like the man who has depression
And thinks of taking his life
We can be a light in darkness
And lift him up in prayer

Let us be a faithful people
Who walk the walk in this life
Praising God for everything
Even in terrible times

Let us be Jesus' disciples
To all the people in need
Lifting up the name of God
So more and more are set free

We pray for peace and love to the hurt
The ones who mourn and suffer the worst
Give us a light to shine to the world
Send us to mend the broken-hearted
