God's Little Candles Lyrics & Chords

By Jimmy Kennedy

(G)The angels are lighting (C)God's little (G)candles,

Softly they (G)glow as the (A)day says good(D)bye,

The (G)angels are lighting (C)God's little (G)candles,

(C)We call them (G)stars; they're our (D)friends in the(G) sky.

  

The (C)cares of the day like (G)clouds roll away,

When (D)stars twinkle through (A)night curtains of (D)blue,

The (G)angels are lighting (C)God's little (G)candles,

(C)Time all God's (G)children were (D)kneeling to (G)pray.

  

Speaking

Dear Jesus as I kneel here tonight with my little dolly by my bed

I'm asking you to listen to me as I pray

Because Jesus I want to thank you for all your kindness to me

And for keeping me so strong and watching over me while I'm at play

And for guiding my mommy and daddy as each long day passes by 

'Cause they mean more to me than all the world and its gold

So I pray that you forgive my little sins

Before mommy tucks me in for the night

And Jesus I ask you to please spear me for the new mornings light

 

Yes, the angels are lighting God's little candles,

Time all God's children were kneeling to pray.
