Going down to the church to pray rest my weary soul
Light a candle lift my arms and mix in with the fold
Oh, let the light pierce this heart it's as stone
Tossed through an age worn smooth by rambling on down bitter roads
Teacher was a traveling man spoke with words of fire
Taught me to forsake this world set my eyes on higher
Oh, let the light pierce this heart it's as stone
Tossed through an age worn smooth by rambling on down bitter roads
Oh, I have wonder many years where my line came from
Why a choice of love or fear or do the things I've done
Light strike at stone cast forth your shadow bring darkness her home
She needs you too chase her forever restore and renew
Just don't forget your son resting on one knee
