The Star Still Shines
I love the idea that “The Star Still Shines” over Bethlehem, and over us today. I wrote this song to share my belief that, though the world grows darker, we can find peace and joy and light through our efforts to seek Jesus Christ. I hope it can bring a special Christmas spirit to your heart and home.

Lyrics
In a place where midnight skies were clear
So long ago, so far,
The little towns would lay so still
Beneath the silent stars.
A world so different from our own,
Where the Son of God was born.
The light and life of every soul
Wherever we are.
If we seek the light
When peace is hard to find,
He’ll send us silent nights
And touch our ears
So we can hear an angel voice.
And in the darkest times
He will lift our eyes
To see the star still shines.
Now the lights we hang
Obscure the sky,
The clamor or stills the song.
We miss the calm and quiet nights
Filled with wondering awe.
And all the while
The risen Lord freely gives us so much more;
The peace on earth we’re looking for
Has been here all along.
If we seek the light
When peace is hard to find,
He’ll sens us silent nights
And touch our ears
So we can hear an angel voice.
And in the darkest times
He will lift our eyes
To see the star still shines.
He will lift our eyes
To see the star still shines.

Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us! This is so BEAUTIFUL!!! I’ve already listened to it 4 times and I feel so much peace listening to it! I can’t wait to play it on the piano and have my son sing it!

Me and my family love your music to pieces, especially this one! You are the most talented person I have ever heard of! We can’t wait for the next song! My family and I, when asked to sing a song in sacrament, without a doubt we chose one of your songs! Thank you so much
