Oh dear Lord, the God of love,
Teach us how to love like you;
Help us to love our neighbors,
To you Lord, draw us close to.

When we want to do what's wrong,
Help us, Lord, to do your will;          
Give us courage that we need,
Your peace in our hearts instill.

Hate don't let enter in us,  
Allow love that is holy;
Faith, help us have in you, Lord,
Bestow on us, Lord,  mercy.  

Show us how to love and live,
Give us courage to forgive.

Candles
Candles are made to give light,
A fragrance in some is found.
My best friend's heart gives off light.
I feel great when she's around.  

Most candles have wax and wicks,
And some are electronic.
When it comes to giving light,
It is my friend's heart  I pick.

My friend's smiles beam with sunshine,
They give warmth but do not burn;
To be near her sunny heart,
this is what my heart does yearn.      

Some candles have a fragrance.
Love, my friend's heart never lacks;
I find her heart very sweet,
Even more than are lilacs.

The fragrances of candles
In lavender and Lilac,
For these kinds of sweet candles,
For more, my friend does go back.
