Carry the Light

I would carry a lamp as I walk through the world, 

For I need the light to show me the way

And the evil that would harm me as I walk through the darkness

Will leave me alone if I carry the light

So give me oil in my lamp, keep me burnin’

Give me oil in my lamp, I pray

Give me oil in my lamp, keep my burnin’, 

Keep me burnin’ til the light of day

In the dark of the evening there is doubt in my heart, 

And the evil temptation nearly tears me apart, 

But the love of God is shining and it shatters the darkness, 

The Lord is my light, he will show me the way

Yes, give me oil in my lamp, keep me burnin’

Give me oil in my lamp, I pray

Give me oil in my lamp, keep my burnin’, 

Keep me burnin’ til the light of day

Many are the souls that are lost in darkness, 

Many are the souls that have gone astray

I would be the one to carry the light, 

So that they might find the way

So give me oil in my lamp, keep me burnin’

Give me oil in my lamp, I pray

Give me oil in my lamp, keep my burnin’, 

Keep me burnin’ til the light of day

Keep me burnin’ til the light of day
