Lily of the Valley, let your sweet aroma fill my life
Rose of Sharon show me how to grow in beauty in God's
sight
Fairest of ten thousand make me a reflection of your
light
Daystar shine down on me let your love shine through me
in the night
Lead me Lord, I'll follow. Anywhere you open up the
door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen
before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's
wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through
me in the night
Lord I've seen a world that's dying wounded by the
master of deceit
Groping in the darkness, haunted by the years of past
defeat
But when I see you standing near me shining with
compassion in your eyes
I pray Jesus shine down on me let your love shine
through me in the night
Lead me Lord, I'll follow anywhere you open up the door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen
before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's
wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through
I'm surrounded by a light that shines,
In your eyes I see my souls reprise,
there's so many things i need to tell you,

That could take awhile.
Did you know that I'll always love you daystar,
There's angels above you always daystar,
I've waited so long to see you,
I knew that you'd always be here,
I've waited so long to meet you daystar,
Have you traveled far,
Hvae you traveled far.

I've see day lights rising like a dove,
The edges of twilight in the skies above,
we'll Nothing compares with what you gave me,
I didn't know that you could save me now,
You knew all along.

Theres angels above you always daystar,
I've waited so long to see you,
I knew that you'd always be here,

And I Will always love you daystar,
There's angels above you always daystar,
I've waited so long to see you,
I knew that you'd always be here,
I've waited so long to meet you daystar,
Daystar tends her pretty flowers
High above the street
Generations pass below her feet
This one is her father's eyes
This her mother's lips
Here and there a stolen
Lovers' kiss
(Chorus)
From her third floor window
Shining silently
Daystar in your light
I am set free
And here below your gentle rays
I find the naked me
She let down her hair for me
Raised me to that roof
Daystar, reached my out hand for the moon
A sailor's pearls around her neck
Wears red ribbons for hear hair
A dress her mother wore
And your body likes mine
And we stand
In this burning desert
On the edge
On the edge
In the night I know
You'll find the end
The end
What a nightmare
You were sinking in
Watch those children
Swimming in the sand
And your story meets mine
And we have
Thoughts with no words
Of love
And we share
And we share
Loneliness when we fail
When we're scared
When we're scared
Emptiness will take us
On its way
And our breath will take us
To the day
Emptiness will take us
On its way
And our breath will take us
