Li le Star Song
There was a li le star you could not see it's light from afar.
Some nsel framed it's golden head could make it twinkle - but now it was sad.
The star was shining at night;
it tried to shine with all it's might.
The other stars were shining bright
and sending forth a mighty light.
But then an angel in blue
appeared and said: "God sent me to you.
A messenger He wants you to be;
a sign for all the world to see.
ln Bethlehem tonight
His Son was born and He needs your light
to show the way, to both far and near:
Our Saviour Jesus Christ is here."
