Stars

Look up
Look up in the night sky
See the stars there? 
I see them too

They connect us
A beautiful reminder
Of the light above
That watches over us

You and me
Together or apart
Makes no difference to the light
It will shine just the same

Side by side
Or a million miles away
Light is still up there
Winking back at us

So trust
Trust that there is light out there
Besides us
But don’t trust in the stars
Trust the one who placed them in the sky
And knows each one by name
He knows you, too

He knows your name
He knows your scars
He knows your heart
He knows where you’ve fallen
And all those times you refused to give up
Always fighting
Fighting for light

So trust
Trust that he has a plan
His plans are good
And one day, you’ll see the beauty in it all

All the stars
All the sky
All the light
And all the night

Even darkness has a purpose
It allows the light to shine
The stars will remain
When morning takes their place
But the day that comes
Hides their light

Yet as the sun sets
And night arrives
Those same stars come out to greet us
If only we greet them too

So look up
Look up in the beautiful night sky
And trust
Trust in the one who made the stars
And the one who placed them there

He made your heart, too
He has a purpose and a plan
And he makes it all beautiful
According to heavenly time

Just wait for night to come
And you’ll see how light shines
A gentle reminder
Of all his goodness
Winking back
At me and you
