Скачать или смотреть Like a Candle Flame - Contemporary Song | Graham Kendrick | Advent/Epiphany

A contemporary Advent hymn that connects the imagery of candlelight to Christ's coming. Written by British worship leader Graham Kendrick, this song serves as a meditation on Advent themes of light emerging in darkness.

The song draws inspiration from the Advent wreath tradition, where candles are lit progressively through the season. Each verse builds upon the metaphor of spreading light, moving from a single flame to the full radiance of Christ's arrival.

Originally composed for the Make Way Music catalogue in 1988, this piece has become particularly associated with Advent services in British churches. Its simple, memorable melody and clear imagery make it accessible for congregational singing.

Performed here by St. Martin's Voices.
