When I heard of Him I went searching
Wandering aimlessly in the dark
Then a light appeared in the darkness
I knew right then it must be His star
Step by step I followed the star
Til it found a resting place
On my knees I found what I searched for
The moment I saw His face
I'm going home a different way
Thanks to the shining star in the night
That led to the Saviour with his guiding light
If not for the shining star in the night
I would've left the way I came
Now I'll never be the same
He never seeks to draw attention
Only to the saving one
And always points in the right direction
And leads you safely to the Son
He stands out from all of the others
But certainly not a broadway star
He's a light of the old straight and narrow
To wise men from afar
They look up to the shining star
Thanks to the shining star in the night
That led to the Saviour with his guiding light
If not for the shining star in the night
I would've left the way I came
Now I'll never be the same
If not for the shining star in the night
I would've left the way I came
Now I'll never be the same
