A Flame to Guard, A Light to Shine

A Flame to Guard, A Light to Shine

To fan the flame and guard the light,
With every choice, each path we tread,
Each step align with truth and right.
Let holiness be daily fed.
For daily life demands we strive,
Requires a life invested true,
To keep His Spirit’s fire alive.
In faith’s pursuit, in all we do.
Each branch refined, each leaf restored,
With pruning love, the Great I Am
Reflects the likeness of the Lord.
Shapes me to bear the holy Lamb.
A beacon blazing through the night,
Do I reflect His love divine,
I’m sealed and set by Spirit’s might.
Yet do I let distractions intertwine?
Invested hearts, we onward press,
Let joy abound as we progress,
Empowered by His righteousness.
To guard His flame, our souls confess.
