Mahalia Jackson Lost In The Stars
[Verse 1]
Before Lord God made the sea and land
He held all the stars in the palm of His hand
And they ran through His fingers like grain of sand
And one little star fell alone
[Verse 2]
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And He stated and promised He would take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again
[Bridge]
Now, a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God is watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on
[Verse 3]
But I've been walking through thе night and day
Till my eyes grow weary and my hеad turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting the promise that we heard Him say
[Outro]
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
