Under the Stars So Bright, In the Presence of the Light

Under the stars I lie with You as we discuss the day

You handled everything that came my way

I began the day searching for Your face

You welcomed me into Your Holy dwelling place

So the adventure we embarked upon

Purposefully forgetting the journeys long

Many we encountered as time went by

You revealed each soul's cry

At moments my feet would stray

In an instant You carried me anyway

Now here we are as the day is done

You call me Your holy one

We glance at the sky full of wonder

The mystery of God's creation we ponder

You open my eyes to all things new

In Your Presence, my heartaches seem few

You point and name each bright light

I am fascinated by the awe of night

You are pleased with my grin

Another day, You defeated sin

I close my eyes completely at rest

Today's path has been Your best

As we lie under God's watchful eye

Strength abounds and on wings I fly

Hoping for a new tomorrow

Where you lead me through joy and sorrow

We rise to say goodnight and embrace

My heart yearning to once again see Your face
