This song was written while I was working as the Director of Music and Youth Ministries in Kermit Texas under Reverend David Weyant. The symbol of the star has always fascinated me. I've done several recordings of this song including a 2002 recording I put on a self-released CD called "Go Tell" . I did this recording last year and played with the arrangement a little bit. I hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!!!

The Star
By Billy Isidoro
Verse 1
Can you see the star the tiny star, Shining in the dark?
Can you see the star the tiny star, won’t you open up your heart?
For it’s the star the tiny star that shone o’er Bethlehem.
And despite the darkness of this world it’s light will not be overcome.
-Chorus
O the star the star still shines in the night.
Oh the star the star still sheds its heavenly light.
So never lose sight of it oh don’t you turn away.
For the light that lit our saviors birth will still light your way today.
Verse 2
Since the time of Adam God has had a plan,
To reconcile Himself with His precious fallen man.
So out of His love He sent His Son to bring us again to Him,
To give us a chance for love and peace and break the bond of sin.
-Bridge
So let the Father touch your heart for His Son has paid the price.
And don’t turn away but follow the star, the star in the night.
