The True North Star

Intro] (Soft, atmospheric acoustic fingerpicking with a gentle, starlight-like chime fading in, steady and warm) ​[Verse 1] When the canopy is thick and the path is thin, Look up past the world where the shadows begin. Don’t lean on the sun—it’s a traveler, too, Look for the Messiah, who stays steady for you. ​[Verse 2] Find the Great Dipper, the cup in the height, A vessel of grace in the middle of night. Take the two on the edge, the pointers of old, Like the prophets who spoke of the truth to be told. ​[Chorus] Oh, follow the True North Star, burning steady and bright, The Anchor of Heaven in the middle of night. While the galaxy spins and the comets fly past, His Still Standing promise is built to outlast. Look up through the shadows, let faith be the guide, With the Light of the Savior right here by your side! ​[Verse 3] Now, close one eye to sharpen your sight, On the Christ who has conquered the dark with His light. Count five spaces out on that angled line, To the small, silver spark where the heavens align. ​[Bridge] From the long tail of ISON that blazed in the dark, To the two-thousand-fourteen celestial spark. When Venus and Mars in sweet harmony meet, The signs of the heavens align at His feet. It's a grand turning point for the youth in the night, To navigate safely by His holy light! ​[Verse 4] He doesn't drift with the tide or the wind in the pines, He's the Anchor of Heaven, the grandest of signs. He's the Anchor of Heaven, the grandest of signs. Though the world keeps on spinning, erratic and fast, The Savior is standing—the first and the last. ​[Chorus] Oh, follow the True North Star, burning steady and bright, The Anchor of Heaven in the middle of night. While the galaxy spins and the comets fly past, His Still Standing promise is built to outlast. Look up through the shadows, let faith be the guide, With the Light of the Savior right here by your side! ​[Verse 5] So if you’ve lost your waypoint, or feel you might fall, Look up to the ceiling, through the gaps in the hall. With Still Standing faith and His light in your gaze, You’re never truly lost in the middle of the maze. ​[Outro] Count five spaces out... To the vessel of grace. You're never truly lost. Just look up to the Savior. Still Standing. (Gentle acoustic strum rings out, fading into a quiet, peaceful nighttime ambiance)
