We are the Star

The night is dark, all is obscure
the seas are turbulent, stars are dim.
I get in my frail boat, I pull up anchor
I set forth with hope not to drown or die
in these dismal seas of uncharted waters.
Is there no hope to illuminate the fierce night?
I sense the rocky shore in crashing waves
I tether my craft, I mount the steps
I enter the lighthouse and swiftly climb
I light the lamp of knowledge, the light of love.
I shine it forth, illuminating the night.
We are the way, the truth, the life
We serve Christ the healer, Christ the light-bearer
We are the soul of humanity shining forth
We are the star illuminating the night.
