Ricky Skaggs New Star Shining - lyrics

They didn't own a house
No crib, no toys were waiting
Still, they had their love
For the child they were anticipating

He was born one winter night
On a road between two towns
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight
And said, "It looks like heaven's come down"

There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still

They worried how to feed Him
Simple trade was all they knew
It was hard enough to make ends meet

When they were only two

But the cold, the dark, and hunger
Couldn't take away their joy
And they knew that they would find a way
For that precious baby boy

There was a new star shining in the sky up above
By His light that winter night, they found peace and perfect love
If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still

If we want to find it, I know we always will
'Cause that new star is shining for us still
