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

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
