Welcome friends to my 12 Days of Giveaways! I have written and recorded many songs over the last 15 years but just recently a sweet young girl at our church Carol service scolded me after I'd performed this song, Star, "You wrote this? I didn't know about this song, why didn't you tell me so I could have been listening to it?". I'm not good at self-promotion (you don't say!), it took me 12 years to perform this song at all. Later the next day I had it on my heart to do something about getting these gems out there again and so here we are, my Christmas gift to you, I hope you like them and that they take wings in someone's heart today.
Every day for the next 12 days I will be giving away a free download from both my albums, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss each day. My first album is called Like A Child which I recorded in 2002, my second album is Invasion Theory which I cut in 2006.
Light that guided wise men
Through the dark and dusty plains
Make me wise in the wilderness
Captivate my heart again
Shine on, shine on, for me
Emmanuel, you’re with us
Moved into the neighbourhood
Almighty God of heaven
Becoming flesh and blood
Shines on, shines on, for us
Shines on, shines on, for us
Starlight, star-bright
Won’t you guide us home tonight
Creation worships and angels see
Still you came for the likes of me
A fire burns within us
It’s shut up in each bone
Can’t help but tell of all we see
Till the lost come running home
Shine on, shine on, through me
Shine on, shine on, through me
Don’t’ forget, no don’t forget
Don’t forget, to shine
Don’t’ forget, no don’t forget
You can’t forget, to shine
Shining light, shining still, you always have and always will, always will
