a star in the crown

LORD why won't Your children all come home

                 friendship, entertaining strains and all the worldly

 I lay it all down for a star in the crown

                  I lay it all down I lay it all down for a star in the crown

let not fear overtake Your servant

                   For Your mercy's sake

LORD let Your Gospel be proclaimed in me

                        I want nothing else for this life

friendships, entertaining strains, and all these worldly things

               I lay it down for a star in the crown

I lay it all down I lay it all down, for nothing more than a star in the crown

               Nothing in life could be so sweet

 as sharing Your Gospel a love so complete

              that is the star in the crown

Your word revealed,

                   to love I yield

Use Your servant oh LORD

                    I praise Your name, Your love to proclaim

sharing the joy that I've found
