With A Star To Guide Me

Over two thousand years ago,
There was a shining star.
It shone so bright and for so long
Many saw it from afar.

It guided kings from foreign lands
To view a special child.
They knew Messiah had arrived,
And they were quite beguiled.

They set their course upon the star.
Through charts they made their way.
Their eyes were focused on their goal.
Never did they stray.

Shepherds watching in the fields
Were frightened and did hide.
But angel voices from above
Were their celestial guide.

A shining light above them,
They came of one accord.
They followed their new pathway
To Jesus Christ our Lord.

With a star to guide me,
I’d be sure to stay the course.
I'd find the road to Heaven,
Where there’ll be no remorse.

With a star to guide me
I could make my way,
Through this lost and sinking world.
Never would I stray.

There is still a star that’s shining,
More brilliant than the sun.
For He’s the Bright and Morning Star
The perfect, Holy One!

Two thousand years have come and gone
Yet, He remains the same.
This gentle loving Savior
Longs for you to call His name.
