Was blessed to be the one selected to sing this at a Christmas cantata in December 1993. Terrifying. How do you live up to THAT voice??? Was told I did well but I didn't quit my day job. THIS SONG BLESSED ME SO MUCH and brings back dear memories. This was my testimony. I got saved on a Sunday night, March 12, 1972, but didn't feel any different. WOKE UP MONDAY MORNING A DIFFERENT PERSON. My anger and fear were GONE. The desire to drink and take drugs -- GONE. The desire to shoplift -- GONE. I was FULL OF JOY for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! REAL joy. It sounds like a cliché but EVERYTHING SEEMED BRIGHTER. I vividly remember thinking that my room seemed brighter. EVERYTHING seemed brighter. Must have been Jesus' presence in my life -- the Shekinah light from the presence of the Holy Spirit. I have forgotten that. Father, forgive me and flood my life with your glory...
I was 16 years old and directing our small rural church choir around 1987. I can't believe I selected this difficult cantata - a definite recipe for failure. But the choir members were so dedicated and did their very best. I was a tyrant and delusional. I even strongly "encouraged" my sister to do this solo, unaware at the time that it was Sandi Patty doing the demo. God forgive me. 😆 🤣 😂
Her name is "Sandy Patty". Female first soprano winner of best high notes vocalist for almost 20-30 years. In my opinion best female vocal along w/ Sarah Brightman.
Get well soon Sandi Patty. Praying for your speedy recovery. You still have a lot of songs to sing for the Lord. Keep inspiring others just like what you did to me.🙏🙏🙏 #covid19
Sandi, I have repeatedly listened to this song Light of a Million Morning, but I cant help but be touch by its message and melody. thank God for the gift of impeccable voice to you. Glory be to Him whose birth we celebrate!
You know the death of this genre of church choral music was that no one could sing it. This song is the perfect example. No one could sing this like Sandi Patty - and this was just meant to be a "demo tape" for church choirs who, bless their hearts, tried so hard. But it never sounded like this and that therein, was the problem.
I totally agree. It sounded easy but great when I first listened to it and selected it for our small rural church choir. Big mistake even though the members were totally dedicated.
I wish i could sing this song again... First and last i sang this song during our School ACALITMUS and i got the first place in that singing contest in 2002
I couldnt see the sunshine through the shadows I couldnt seem to find a soul to care And in my darkest hour You touch me with your power And when i looked your light Was everywhere Refrain: The light of the million mornings filled my heart The sound of a million angels sung my song The warmth of a love so tender Touched my life and suddenly The light of a million morning starts in me I never tried to understand the sunrise I know it takes away the dark I can't explain your healing or all the joy im feeling I only know you've come in to my heart Repeat Refrain And now that your glory Has come shining through Let my life be a candle, Lord That shines for you, Shines for you Shines for you...
Oh my, this brings back memories of a certain tenor at APU who couldn't remember the lyrics for a few weeks in a row in the late '80s at our concerts and the Choir and Orchestra behind him trying to keep it together. Oh Tim...
we used it in the Philippines got talent audition and already we enter the first round haha but we are not fortunate enough to enter the live audition in Manila so sad but thats life
hi if you like sandi Patty go and see karla worley,she use to sing backup for sandi ,she almost sound like her and look a bit like sandi,she sings this song 2 light of a million mornings,God bless.I have few videos of sandi and karla worley.
Ma. Elena Prilnel G. Mayuga the meaning of this song is not literal candle, it is a path the Lord prepared for his children , his word. The bible is the light. PSALM 119:105 Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path.
The candle of our life is not a literal candle, It is The Teaching of Christ. Until now there still so many people blind because of tradition and false teaching.
you know there is a professional VHS of the First Baptist Church of Dallas doing this in 1994 as a part of their Living Christmas Tree, 200 voices full orchestra. It's quite breathtaking. I've lost the tape, sadly.
Thanks for posting! I've been looking for Sandi Patty's beautiful rendition that's been covered by so many. Never fails to touch the heart!
Imitated but never duplicated. The most majestic voice.
Indeed Sandi is the best
Hallelujah

i remember this song when i was young choirs practicing at home....nice song ever....
I wish i could sing this song again... First and last i sang this song during our School ACALITMUS and i got the first place in that singing contest in 2002
Breathtaking and beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes!
I couldnt see the sunshine through the shadows
I couldnt seem to find a soul to care
And in my darkest hour
You touch me with your power
And when i looked your light
Was everywhere
Refrain:
The light of the million mornings filled my heart
The sound of a million angels sung my song
The warmth of a love so tender
Touched my life and suddenly
The light of a million morning starts in me
I never tried to understand the sunrise
I know it takes away the dark
I can't explain your healing or all the joy im feeling
I only know you've come in to my heart
Repeat Refrain
And now that your glory
Has come shining through
Let my life be a candle, Lord
That shines for you,
Shines for you
Shines for you...
Hallelujah Sister ❤🎉

This is a kind of song that can lead my soul to God! 👏
