Bethlehem Star Words and music by Ray Boltz and Mark Pay, Music by Steve Millikan, Ray Boltz, and Mark Pay 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 CHORUS: Bethlehem starHow 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 myBethlehem 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 CHORUS (repeat) 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 starHow 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 myBethlehem star Oh that I might worship Him Shine for meBethlehem star 1997 Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word Music), Weedom
