Guard Your Candle
Parody of "Hard to Handle" by The Black Crowes
(Matthew 5:14-16; John 1:4-5, 3:19, 8:12; Isaiah 42:3, 2 Timothy 1:14)

He saved me, here I am -- I'm a man God redeemed
My candle is much too hot to be locked up at home with me
I can drop a bushel on it that I got from the corner store
But when my wick stops glowin' I'm only a glob of some wax for floors

Sure, some things will come tryin' to snuff it
They can't snuff it if you trust the Lord above and
Give it everything -- never hide your candle
'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

I know He's the light of the world, and I'm a lamp He made to share it
I know He's got some other lamps, but we can all do better than this
Hey, my lamp don't need a shade I'm gonna illuminate the world He made
Now's not the time to cover Jesus up so make sure that they see

Boy they'll come along in time tryin' to snuff it
I ain't nothin' if I can't stand sufferin'
Give it everything -- never hide your candle
'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now
Yeah, guard your candle now

He saved me – here I am -- look in Matthew 5:14
I'm a city up on top of a mountain for the world to see
I know God He put me up there, and I got some important chores
When I get those done then all you are gonna come and glorify the Lord

Sure they'll come along in time tryin' to snuff it
I ain't bluffin', man, I'm quite sure of it
Give it everything -- never hide your candle
'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now
Ah, guard your candle now
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
LEAD

Boy they'll come along in time tryin' to snuff it
I ain't runnin' like a scared Miss Muffet
Give it everything -- never hide your candle
'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

Guard your candle now

Baby, don't snuff it
Baby, baby
If you love Him – let's see more of Him
Make it a habit
Oh yeah – guard your candle

2 Timothy 1:14
Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
