Meaning:
Like a little star,
Like a small lamp burning brightly,
Let my life shine for You
Until my days on earth are done.
1.
Without remembering my shortcomings,
Without counting my failures,
Pour out Your grace upon me
And lead me along Your path.
2.
When I fall into the snares
Of many kinds of trials,
Give me strength to stand firm
Without being overcome or discouraged.
3.
All my talents,
My honor and my wealth,
And my entire life—
I surrender everything
Before You.
4.
When I wander through intense suffering,
When I feel I have become nothing
But an empty name,
Hold me up with both Your arms
And draw me close to Your heart.
