Starlight
Clemens Rumpf and David A. Tobin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining down on this cold dark night
Where I find
I'm in my thoughts with you
Even though I am alone
I know that I'm not alone
For you're with me
And time tells, me that
Change is on the way
Change me on the inside
Revive me today
Oh is what I'm living for
Worth Christ dying for
Change me today
And let today be, the day of my salvation
Change me, through holy consecration
Reigning, your glory, through my life
Amidst a crooked, perverse generation
You're releasing, a holy nation
A people, chosen, to shine like the stars
Your starlight
Reminds me to shine
That the world may know
That we are not alone
And let today be, the day of my salvation
Change me, through holy consecration
Reigning, your glory, through my life
Amidst a crooked, perverse generation
You're releasing, a holy nation
A people, chosen, to shine like the stars
Your starlight
Reminds me to shine
That the world may know
We are not alone
We call the nations, to awaken and get ready
For you're patient, but your hand is sure and steady
To draw forth harvest, revive us now
Your starlight
Reminds me to shine
That the world may know
That we are not alone
The song 'Starlight' by Clemens Rumpf and David A. Tobin is a heartfelt ballad that expresses the feelings of loneliness, isolation and the need for salvation in a difficult and uncertain world. The song starts by describing the cold and dark night, where the singer finds himself alone with his thoughts of the person he loves. Though physically alone, the singer finds comfort in the thought that his loved one is with him in spirit, making him feel less lonely.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the need for change, both within himself and in the world around him. He asks for salvation and prays for holy consecration in order to reign in God’s glory through his life, amidst a crooked and perverse generation. The song discusses the importance of being a shining example to others, inspiring them to see the beauty in life, and to look towards the stars instead of feeling isolated.
The chorus of the song is a powerful reminder that we are not alone in this world, that there is always hope, and that we can find solace in the warmth of other people’s love.
