Devout

To wish 
            that others 
                     could discern
                             the passion 
                                   as it wants to burn
                                                      the feeling
                                                               as it pulses out 
                                                                  across the scattered stars devout
                                         in their worship of the one
                                                       who gave us all his only son.
                                                                  Who waits and wants the best to show
                                                                                    who always wants to let us know
                                                                 He loves us 
                                                                             as we really are
                                                                       rise up and shine ....................
                                                                 oh wayward 
                                                                                      Star
                                                                                                                                              
           oh wayward star!
rise up and shine oh wayward star
