Guard Your Candle (Parody of "Hard to Handle") - ApologetiX

He saved me, here I am -- I’m a man God redeemed

My candle is much too hot to be locked up at home with me

I can drop a bushel on it that I got from the corner store

But when my wick stops glowin' I’m only a glob of some wax for floors

Sure, some things will come tryin' to snuff it

They can’t snuff it if you trust the Lord above and

Give it everything -- never hide your candle

'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

I know He’s the light of the world, and I’m a lamp He made to share it

I know He’s got some other lamps, but we can all do better than this

Hey, my lamp don’t need a shade I’m gonna illuminate the world He made

Now’s not the time to cover Jesus up so make sure that they see

Boy they’ll come along in time tryin' to snuff it

I ain’t nothin' if I can’t stand sufferin'

Give it everything -- never hide your candle

'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

Yeah, guard your candle now

He saved me — here I am -- look in Matthew 5:14

I’m a city up on top of a mountain for the world to see

I know God He put me up there, and I got some important chores

When I get those done then all you are gonna come and glorify the Lord

Sure they’ll come along in time tryin' to snuff it

I ain’t bluffin', man, I’m quite sure of it

Give it everything -- never hide your candle

'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

Ah, guard your candle now

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

LEAD

Boy they’ll come along in time tryin' to snuff it

I ain’t runnin' like a scared Miss Muffet

Give it everything -- never hide your candle

'Cause your Papa wants to show off His handiwork, yes, uh, now

Guard your candle now

Baby, don’t snuff it

Baby, baby

If you love Him — let’s see more of Him

Make it a habit

Oh yeah — guard your candle
