Flame of Service

The flame of hope within the heart

That the service that one gives

Will be of benefit to all around them

And for future generations.

As the candle of each service

Flickers down then rises again

The person that is giving

Never really counts the cost.

They know they really want to help

Those who are in desperate need

It doesn’t matter when they fall

Only that they can come up again.

The spark and flame of hope within

Continues even when all seems hopeless

They know that God Himself provides

While others focus on the need.

You can find these flickers everywhere

They burst into such glorious light

The flame of service once again

That is birthed within the heart.
