LIGHT TO YOUR DARKNESS

I will light a candle for you,

When the days get dark,

And the power of light lack,

I will light a candle for you.

 

When friends remain few,

And the journey is harder,

When steps begin to falter,

I will light a candle for you.

 

If you no longer have a clue,

And the will to go on is broken,

Fear not, I will be there often,

For I will light a candle for you.

 

If enemies around you grew,

I would be your candle light,

To help you in the fight,

I will light a candle for you.

The simple humanity of the theme deserves a joyous welcome.
But why "For I will lit a candle for you" when "light" is the right
word for a present or future act of this sort? "Lit" is for a past act.
