Morning starlight, won’t you shine?
Everyone’s awake.
I’ve been waiting quite some time
For all these clouds to break
But there’s a truth I’ll have to face
When you shine your light on this place
And then the confidence I've found
Will vanish with no trace.

Shrinking in the depths of space

I’m left to wonder how the sun rose
On that day we were exposed
As wreckage heaped in dust and smoke
Rising from the hearts that broke.
Now I know what we built won’t stand
If we refuse to hold the hand
That fits this pain in greater plans
That we can’t understand

With begging hands, we stumble through
This landscape of dismay
And let our weary eyes take in
The war torn fields of yesterday
Where once we felt the urgency
Of struggle for that breakneck pace
And built the ruins of squandered wealth
That mock the now decrepit race
I’d say that was faith misplaced

I’m left to wonder how the sun rose
On that day we were exposed
As wreckage heaped in dust and smoke
Rising from the hearts that broke.
Now I know what we built won’t stand
If we refuse to hold the hand
That fits this pain in greater plans
That we can’t understand

Morning starlight, won’t you shine?
Everyone’s awake
Morning dawns for light to shine
On everyone’s mistakes
But the light that dawns is grace

I’m left to wonder where the sun goes
Those days when it will not show
The light that opens weary eyes
Blind from watching midnight skies.
I know this fate is none too grand
And I might never understand,
But though He slay me I will trust
My Father and His plan
He holds me in His hand.
