C F G7 C I wish I was a shiny star shining over Bethlehem. F C F G7 I would shine so bright on that Christmas Night as high and bright as any light. C F G7 C If I could be that shiny star shining over Bethlehem. C F G7 C C F G7 C Mary needed a place to rest; the innkeeper he did his best, F G7 C Showed them to an old cowshed and a manger filled with straw. F C F G7 Joseph got the stable clear he knew her time was very near, C G7 C F C G7 C Then a band of angels did appear as a baby boy was born From the hills nearby the shepherds came to that stable cold and bare And as the angel had proclaimed they found a baby there They brought a lamb for the new born babe as in the manger he did lay That first ever gift on a Christmas day brought joy and peace on earth Three kings arrived from far off lands to celebrate the birth Each with a precious gift in hand (gold frankincense and myrrh) Caspar, Melchior & Balthazar were guided by my shiny star They knelt down on that stable floor to praise the baby there My light beamed down on that new born babe and he smiled right back at me As if to say “I'm here today to set all mankind free So shiny star shine bright and clear let all the people know I'm here No more hurt and no more fear if you believe in me” How wonderful to be that star shining down on Bethlehem The song can be heard here Shiny Star of Bethlehem Bernadette came up with the chorus when our kids were tots. The rest of the song arrived 40 years later. GD |
