What I've been listening to

I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn
I'll be your candle on the water
'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let this candle guide you
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light
A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer
I'll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on you'll make it
Here's my hand so take it
Look for me reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...
Candle on the Water, Disney's Pete's Dragon

Yeah yeah, it's a Disney song. Listening to it the other day (I'm a mom and we listen to some Disney in the car) it took on a new perspective for me. I love how music can do that. It seemed to be words coming from Jesus as if he was reassuring me in this most difficult time of my life thus far. I think they should add it to the hymn book!
