My Soul is like a Candle

I feel so alone so depressed so down
I wake up every day in tears and frown
    There must be a better life
    There must be a better way

    My soul is like a candle without a flame 
    I feel so dark and so cold so unknown with no name
        There must be a better life
        There must be a better way

"There's always hope" my Dad always said
If you don't have hope then you might as well be dead
Without hope life is too much to handle
It's like there's no flame for the candle

    My soul is like a candle without a flame 
    I feel so dark and so cold so unknown with no name
        There must be a better life
        There must be a better way

I can't stand it I'm so cold!
So I pray and repent and cry unto the Lord
Then His Holy Ghost falls from on high
And fills my soul with His holy fire!

    My soul is like a candle with The Flame 
    I feel so alive and so bright knowing God's Name
        This is the better life
        This is the only way!

   My soul is like a candle with The Flame 
    I feel so alive and so bright knowing God's Name
        This is the better life
        This is the only way!

                Ablaze so bright in God the darkness flees
                Thank You Jesus:  I can finally see!
