A Star that Shined

11 May 2006


Your beauty was a star that shined
your voice, one that God touched
To reach out and know He was true
this Christ of Saviour within you

No understanding required
in knowing this grace
Ever beauty, ever all
unto Christ upon her face

Captured to breast
a child in swaddling clothes
His heart was yours
all true for no lie would he give

On this road, this path to will
He knows you live
Your beauty, that star that shined
each night, each day, forever and eternal
His love was your charity to in voice sing

“for Valerie-Lynn”


“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and
a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”
Ephesians 5: 2 KJV
