Religious song...do you know who sings this?

[faith]

Sorry not much information, but it has lyrics that say take your candle out into the darkness and let it shine etc. It's a beautiful, touching song. Anyone know the title or vocalist? Thanks! Have a wonderful Monday.

Go Light Your World
by Kathy Troccoli

There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Cause We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times

So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world

Yep, Kathy Troccoli originally recorded it and more recently Chris Rice (who wrote it) has released a recording of it himself. Great song.

My Mom just got it for her BD ~ Chris Rice sings it on his Greatest Hits Album....'Short Term Memories'. It is so beautiful!

Thank you! Thank You! To all three of you who responded. I'm off to buy it sometime today. The song has such beautiful lyrics. A great reminder to all of us to share our lives, and Christ's wonderful message.

Thanks to all three of you for replying! Yes, that's the song. Off to buy it today. What a beautiful message for all of us, and of course to share Christ's message.

Love this song!



funny ( ok not so funny ) story. We had a womens conference at church and when they played this song everyone had a candle and was to light the one next to you... well one lady missed and caught her neighbours (very) long hair on fire and it went up like a poof of smoke
She was good sport about it, it didnt get all of the hair but it was very singed on one side.



So I think of that every time I hear the song



Sorry to hijack your thread... I do love the song

I would recommend any of Kathy Troccoli's songs. I enjoy her so much.

I just saw her sing that song live at the Women of Faith Convention in Philadelphia! Awesome
