Light a Candle (Emmanuel)

Release
2018

© Glen Powell 2015

Light a Candle (Emmanuel) reminds me that Christmas is more than a festival of consumption, or even a nice time with family and friends. Christmas marks the time when God sent Jesus to start a movement to challenge the powers and principalities. It has been used in a Pop Up Choir in the community during Advent alongside more traditional carols and has been well received.

Light a Candle – Lyrics

Light against the darkness, peace against our violence

Joy against all sorrow, we are never alone

Light a candle, pray a prayer

Hope in Christ, against despair

In the name of Jesus, the light of our world

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

God with us, Emmanuel

(Emmanuel, Emmanuel)

Truth against the Powers, Love against all hate

Free the slaves enchained by choices they did not make

Light a candle, pray a prayer

But the fire must not stop there

Each of us a candle, set fire to the world.
