I sat beneath the stars
and thought of the universe
Hidden in day by golden light
but now exposed by velvet night

Vast and wide and bright
With planets, moons, and comets
And all the wonders of creation
Reaching far beyond my imagination

Shouting loudly through darkness
the glory and splendor and power
So I sit in awe and consider
The greatness of the One Who is Creator

I stand in the midst of all He envisioned
sunsets behind me and sunrise before
Minutes and hours turning to days
A framework of years marking my ways

I breathe an atmosphere
Formed when He spoke
Transforming chaos to order
From a world clothed in water

I dance in the tension
of this world’s gravity
And the voice of the Father
Ever drawing me heavenward

I am one with Creation
Adoring our Creator
Bowing and bending,
In Him I live and move and have my being

Tonight I sat beneath the stars
and sang of the universe
And the God whose voice formed all I see
While He sat in heaven singing over me.
