Looking for Stars
Some people fear the darkness
And tremble through the night,
Some love the stars that sparkle
A million points of light.
Some people feel what’s lacking
And live in gloomy fear,
Some look at life’s small blessings
And sense the Lord is near.
For if there was no darkness,
The stars would never shine;
And lack reveals the value
Of what is really mine.
Lord, help me see the blessings
In everything, I pray,
That I might always thank you
Whatever comes today.
