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.
