bethlehem star

when god created the heaven and earth

he said let there be light

and a million shining stars appeared

on the canvas of the night

they all declared the glory

of the father up above

but only one startled the way

to his greatest gift of love

bethlehem star how beautiful you are

shining in the darkness

guiding strangers from afar

as your light fills the heavens

his love fills my heart

so shine for me my bethlehem star

from far away the wise men came

to find the tiny king

in bethlehem they worshipped him

and gave their offerings

star up in the heavens

without your holy light

they would still be searching

somewhere in the night

bethlehem star how beautiful you are

shining in the darkness

guiding strangers from afar

as your light fills the heavens

his love fills my heart

so shine for me my bethlehem star

i may not be a wise man

and i don't have much to bring

but my heart is my gift of love

so lead me to the king

bethlehem star how beautiful you are

shining in the darkness

guiding strangers from afar

as your light fills the heavens

his love fills my heart

so shine for me my bethlehem star

oh that i might worship him

shine for me bethlehem star
