All from a Spark

A spark can cause a flame,

a flame can cause a fire.

A fire can be tender,

with warmth to inquire.

And warmth can give comfort,

with comfort producing love.

As the greatest consolation,

descends from God above.

And God can give life,

a life that is forever.

And forever is so precious,

as precious is a treasure.

A treasure that is priceless,

with a priceless, hopeful mark.

And just think it all begins,

with just a little spark.

Thus dare not to hesitate,

let your spark be light.

And let your light so shine,

shine with all your might.

For it very well could heal,

some wounded heart despaired.

And just because you kindled,

the fire of love you shared.

"Behold,  all  ye  that  kindle a fire, that

compass   yourselves  about  with  sparks:  walk

in  the  light  of  your fire, and in the sparks

that ye have kindled"  (Isaiah 50:11).

"Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires,

even  the  name  of  the  Lord  God of Israel in

the isles of the sea"  (Isaiah 24:15).
