intro: D C#m Bm E A
(1st verse)
A C#m D E
They didn't own a house No crib, no toys were waiting
D A Bm E
Still, they had their love for the child they were anticipating
A C#m D C#m
He was born one winter night on a road between two towns
D A Bm E
They wrapped Him up so warm and tight and said, "It looks like heaven's come
A
down."
D E A D
There was a new star shining in the sky up above
Bm F#m
By His light that winter night they found peace and perfect love
D E F#m B
If we want to find it, I know we always will
D C#m Bm E A
'Cause that new star is shining for us still.
(2nd verse)
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
(chorus)
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
This song was obviously released for Christmas. But Mr Skaggs also released
it on an album quite some time ago. I had this album at one time. But
since lost track of it. Hope you enjoy it. I still do.
