While the candle of my life is burning

Алёна Шпитальник Элен Кофман
Oh, dear God, I'm praying: strengthen me, 
So, I can handle troubles and the pressure.
Give tiny drop of love and help me see
All those important things that I should treasure.

My walking path is often very narrow,
But while the candle of my life is giving light,
Don't  let me raise a sword to cause the sorrow,
Don't let me say those words that aren't right. 

Oh, dear God, please hold me by my hand,
But punish for mistakes, don't let me get away.
I want to follow You, I want to understand
What's in Your will my Lord, show me right path, right way.
