New Star Shining
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They didn't own a house
No crib, no toys were waiting
Still, they had their love for
The childthey were anticipating.
He was born one winter night
On a road between two towns
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight
and said, "It looks like heaven's come down."
Chorus:
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still.
They worried how to feed Him.
Simple trade was all they knew
It was hard enough to make ends meet
When they were only two.
But the cold, the dark, and hunger,
Couldn't take away their joy
And they knew that they would find a way
For that precious baby boy.
Chorus:
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still.
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still...
