Candles Lit in Care

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning light through kitchen glass Coffee steam and time at last After all the working years Quiet grace, the gift that's here A gentle soul who tends the earth Sees the stray and knows their worth [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for love like this For the hands that heal and bless For a heart that prays for peace For the kind of grace that frees Every candle lit in care Every whispered, faithful prayer [Verse 2] From Queens to London, hand in hand Saved a year to make our plans Middle Village, Whitestone days Armonk's twenty-four-year stay Three daughters raised in tender light Jillian, Madison, Victoria bright [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for love like this For the hands that heal and bless For a heart that prays for peace For the kind of grace that frees Every candle lit in care Every whispered, faithful prayer [Bridge] Like Mother Teresa walks the room Listening till the strangers bloom Cookie, Rich, and family near Every soul she holds is dear [Verse 3] Darci, you're the answered prayer Christ-like love in everything you wear Plants and puppies, birds that sing You take them all beneath your wing The best of partners God could send My Darci, my forever friend [Chorus] Thank You, Lord, for love like this For the hands that heal and bless For a heart that prays for peace For the kind of grace that frees Every candle lit in care Every whispered, faithful prayer [Outro] Darci, sweet and gentle dove Heaven gave me all this love Just because, I'm telling you Thank God above for you
