There’s a mother somewhere kneeling
She is pouring out her heart by her bedside, interceding for her loved ones in the dark
Though the shadows grow and grow, she won’t stop praying cause she knows

God keeps a candle burning in the window for every lost soul in the night
It can be beacon for those who are seekin’ for a little touch of His power and might
Children gone astray can surely find their way back home when they see the light
God keeps a candle burning in the window for every lost soul in the night

Fellow traveler, don’t be weary if you’re far away from home
Though you walk uncertain valleys you are never on your own
Though you’ve wandered from God’s will there’s a light on Calvary’s hill

God keeps a candle burning in the window for every lost soul in the night
It can be beacon for those who are seekin’ for a little touch of His power and might
Children gone astray can surely find their way back home when they see the light
God keeps a candle burning in the window for every lost soul in the night
