A Shining Star

A Shining Star

 

I wish not upon a shining star

Up above so far.

I look to the Word, so true.

I do not wish, but pray it through.

It makes no difference who I are,

A dream is not built upon a shining star;

It’s God who sees me through.

He is the One so true!

It’s He who set the star

Up above so far,

But it’s only there to give me light,

Shining up so bright.

I wish not upon its power

For God is my mighty tower.

I wish not upon a shining star

Up above so far.

God’s the One who grants my needs;

He hears and heeds.

I do not wish, but pray it through

To the One, so true.
