Star

A sky without stars,
a road with no signs,
with no shape to it all.

And he bears the scars
of my failed designs,
my stumble and fall.

Why do I still stand?
What right I to live?
What right I to be free?

The deep marks in his hand,
what it cost to forgive,
what it cost to save me.

At the moment I fell,
I was met by his love,
I was saved by his grace.

So ring out, sanctus bell,
ring on earth, ring above:
see, how bright is his face,

bright with love all divine,
as he now breaks the bread,
as the new wine is poured.

And a new star will shine,
shine to quicken the dead,
and lead us to our Lord.
