“Like Fireflies”
Like fireflies at eventide
You light my dark’ning way
And when at last full night has come,
please lead me home, I pray.Your love has ever held me.
My heart is in your hand.
I hear the heav’nly chorus,
the full celestial band.Like fireflies at eventide
You light my dark’ning way
And when at last full night has come,
please lead me home, I pray.You’ve overfilled my cup with joy.
Now help me do your will.
Your peace is overflowing.
This heart of mine is still.Like fireflies at eventide
You light my dark’ning way
And when at last full night has come,
please lead me home, I pray.I’ve tried to love your children
As you would have us do.
Let judgment come from heaven.
Your love will see us through.Like fireflies at eventide
You light our dark’ning way
And when at last full night has come,
please bring us home, we pray.
