Light the Lamp includes some of our favorite children's songs, but until recently it was available only on cassette. It is so good that we asked Kanta to make it available on CD, and being a wonderful person who loves to share love and sweet music, she agreed! That's fortunate for anyone with children, because this album really is the sweetest, most uplifting music we have ever heard. (It's alright if you don't have children and you still love this - it just means that you have a young, sweet heart).
Warning: Have you ever visited Disneyland and gone on their '
It's a Small World' ride, only to find yourself singing, '
It's a Small World', the rest of the day? Well this CD is like that, but you'll enjoy waking up in the morning and bursting into, "
Good Morning, Good Morning, did you tell God, Good Morning...?" Light the Lamp sold over 1,000 copies on cassette when it was originally released in 1988. It is a great gift to give anyone with young children.
From the album back cover:Light the Lamp is an inspirational journey of authentic Love and Connection to that Beloved we are each seeking. Lyrics and score came spontaneously and were packaged by the Divine Hand during times of intense and focused Love between seeker and ONE... These are made especially tender and appealing by the sweet voices of the children underscoring the lead vocalist. Easy to remember and repeat during our busy days, these songs will ever lead us back to our true HOME in Spirit.
