Shining Star, come and guide our hearts x 4
The angels watched in mystery
As You took off Your glory
Instead You put on human skin
To reconcile all things again
You stepped into the darkest night
To blaze the skies with Heaven’s sign
That we all matter, we are loved
That Your heart beat’s strong for us
What a picture of love!
You are magnificent
You are magnificent
You are my rescuer
You light the darkest night
You light the darkest night
You are the shining star
The Angels watched in mystery
As You bore all our misery
The hands that crafted worlds and stars
Chose the pain of human scars
You came to die the lowest death
To show the human soul its worth
And as You burst through the darkness
You raised the dead in all of us
What a portrait of grace!
Shining Star come and guide our hearts
