Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

New Star Shining

They didn't own a house

No crib, no toys were waiting

Still, they had their love

For the child they were anticipating

He was born one winter night

On a road between two towns

They wrapped Him up so warm and tight

And said, "It looks like heaven's come down"

There was a new star shining in the sky up above

By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love

If we want to find it, I know we always will

'Cause that new star is shining for us still

They worried how to feed Him

Simple trade was all they knew

It was hard enough to make ends meet

When they were only two

But the cold, the dark, and hunger

Couldn't take away their joy

And they knew that they would find a way

For that precious baby boy

There was a new star shining in the sky up above

By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love

If we want to find it, I know we always will

'Cause that new star is shining for us still

If we want to find it, I know we always will

'Cause that new star is shining for us still
