With courage and love in her heart
That faith and hope and love may live
Beneath a Cross of Stars, Beneath a Cross of Stars
Early in life she heard God’s call
The call of Christ to stand with the poor
To serve like Joseph, to serve in deed
To teach, to love, to answer a need
Soon others could see Mary’s shining light
They came from far and they came from wide
To stand with the poor to teach with the young
To see that Christ’s song would one day be sung
Across these great lands she brought the Good News
With courage and love in her heart
That faith and hope and love may live
Beneath a Cross of Stars, Beneath a Cross of Stars
“Have courage no matter what your crosses are”
This Mary knew when times were hard
She trusted in God, and God did provide
And Mary’s love traveled far and wide Across a vast land from north to south
And to the land of the Long White Cloud
Mary carried her dream, she followed her call
So that our faith would live in us all

Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light
Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me
As we gaze on your kingly brightness
So our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story
Shine on me, shine on me
