The sun has set,
Dark velvet cloaks the skies;
Stars shine above me,
Glimmering before my eyes.
Glorious diamonds,
So many shining above me,
Countless stars shining,
How wondrous to see.
May I be like these, Lord,
May I shine like a star;
I long to give You glory,
I long to be as You are.
For surely You shine
Through day, through night;
Surely You are the Son,
Full of glory and might.
So dark is this world,
Darker than midnight sky;
So many are lost,
So many stumble and cry.
May I be a light unto them,
May I shine with Your love;
May I bring others hope,
Shining as a star above.
May Your virtues fill
My humbled heart and soul;
May Your light shine in me,
Light making me whole.
And Your light I shall share
With one and with all;
I shall show them Your truth,
I shall follow Your call.
Yea, shine like a star
I vow forever to do;
I lose myself entirely, Lord,
To reflect radiant You.
The countless stars shining
Are wondrous to see;
Yet none more brilliant than You,
So Jesus, shine through me

Purposeful Pathway
Do everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure,
children of God without fault in a
crooked and depraved generation,
in which you shine like stars
in the universe as you hold out
the word of life in order that
I may boast on the day of Christ
that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2:14-16
