Star

My sister’s daughter, but you know you are my own

The sweetest spirit that this family's ever known

A loving mother with a heart so wide and deep

You adopted little Chosjen, a promise you would keep

A grandmother who gives her all, so generous and kind

A brighter soul than yours, Star, I could never find

Oh, shine on, Star, with the glory of the Lord

We leaned upon His promise and we struck a joyful chord

You’re my niece, but I love you like a child of my own

Through the valleys and the shadows, we were never alone

Hallelujah for the healing, lift our voices and sing

Praise God for the victory and the love that you bring!

The doctor said lymphoma, and the heavy teardrops fell

But we called upon the Savior, cause we know He heals us well

Once a month for six months, six rounds to win the fight

Driving down to Birmingham, Alabama in the light

We opened up our Bibles and we prayed along the way

Bonding on that highway, trusting Jesus every day

Oh, shine on, Star, with the glory of the Lord

We leaned upon His promise and we struck a joyful chord

You’re my niece, but I love you like a child of my own

Through the valleys and the shadows, we were never alone

Hallelujah for the healing, lift our voices and sing

Praise God for the victory and the love that you bring!

Six months in the fire, but you walked out pure as gold

A beautiful testimony for the whole world to be told

The doctors gave the update, but the Lord had the final say

You are cancer-free, my Star, oh we praise His name today!

Cancer-free! Praise God! He washed the fear away!

Oh, shine on, Star, with the glory of the Lord

We leaned upon His promise and we struck a joyful chord

You’re my niece, but I love you like a child of my own

Through the valleys and the shadows, we were never alone

Hallelujah for the healing, lift our voices and sing

Praise God for the victory, let the church bells ring!

Yes, praise God for you, Star, and the love that you bring!
