I wrote this song several years before my previous post, “Is Everything Easy for God?” The song is related to the post in that it was some photos of colorful nebulae that inspired both. The song is meant to be a celebration of God’s glory as reflected in His enormous universe.

Lyrics:

Chorus: God has made room for us, snug in the firmament, held close by forces unseen yet real.

v. 1 Look to the stars, O small one; let the heavens take your breath away; the vast vault of the universe stirs hearts to trembling prayer. Blackness slashed by swaths of light, shapes no human could conceive, nebulae wrought in agony midst depths none can perceive.

v. 2 What holds us here suspended in the grand unyielding silence? Is it the pull of gravity, or the clasp of angels’ hands? God’s Word bursts forth in glory, explodes in might and power, pushing back the darkness to save this small blue sphere.
