Lord You are my Shining Star

Workin' so hard livin' day to day
Makin' ends meet somehow, some way
Some would say we're poor, but I don't see it that way
You see I love my kids an' ev'ry day I pray

    Thank you Lord for this wonderful day
    Thank you Lord for these children you gave
    Lord I appreciate Who You are
    Lord You are my Shining Star

Sometimes I wonder why I was left alone
I don't like to go there 'cause I feel so cold
Lord could anyone in this world love me again?
All I really want and need is a real good friend

    Thank you Lord for this wonderful day
    Thank you Lord for these children you gave
    Lord I appreciate Who You are
    Lord You are my Shining Star

Workin' so hard livin' I get so awful tired
I don't know why but I worry 'bout gettin' fired
Guess it comes with carryin' this responsibility
Gotta teach the little ones to the best of my ability

    Thank you Lord for this wonderful day
    Thank you Lord for these children you gave
    Lord I appreciate Who You are
    Lord You are my Shining Star

Lord I know it's not much but I appreciate Who You are
I think about You ev'ry time I see that Shining Star
