Make me, O Lord, Your lighter complete,
Bearing the light of Your word.
Put in me, O God, such butane sweet,
The butane of Spirit mirrored.
Put on me a safety catch, that I may not harm
Any with the heat of alarm.
Make my handle sturdy and strong,
A will to last very long.
A warning label, also, for guidance--
That I may know what is Your stance.
Take this flame from me now, O God
And with it ignite a brilliant fire.
Send the fire here, far, about and abroad,
And with it, take a passionate desire
That now the world will be alight,
Seeing You and You alone, O Lord, not me,
Casting out the dark of long, long night
That You the people of the world may see.
