Light a Candle

Once a woman had 10 silver coins, each was valued the same.
Then through carelessness, one coin was lost,
How can she find it again?

She must light a candle, sweep the house, and seek diligently.
Light a candle, sweep the house, find the lost one today.

Soon the woman called out to her friends, "Oh, rejoice with me, sing and be glad!
"That which I lost is now found!"

How did you find it? For we've lost coins too. "Just tell us what we should do!"

She said, Light a candle, sweep the house, and seek diligently.
Light a candle, sweep the house, find the lost one today.”

Each of us bears an image too, of the Great king who reigns.
Like the coins we are gathered too. Like coins we each bear his name.

Sometimes through carelessness, someone is lost.
One who was once here is gone.
We must do all we can to bring him back.
We must do all we can to right the wrong.

Just look around - See! Some are gone away.
We must do what we can: Welcome them home with open arms - Find him today.

Are you the lost one? What keeps you away? Angels await your return!
If you have made mistakes, we understand:
Making mistakes is the way we must learn...
We want you home! We want you home and we will:

Light a candle, sweep the house, and seek diligently
Light a candle, sweep the house, find the lost one today.

Light a candle, sweep the house, and seek diligently.
Light a candle, sweep the house, find the lost one today.
Find the lost one today. Find him today. Find him today.
