If You created the infinite sky
Know each star by name
Measured the oceans
In the palm of Your hand
If mountains can be moved
And cast in the sea
By faith as small
As a mustard seed
If You are as big
As we can’t even dream
Then why in the world
Do I worry?
On the back porch
Stargazing with my brother
Binoculars search the night
The Big Dipper in sight
The moon casts its silver light
Against my face
It’s so far away
With craters and rifts
And shades of gray
Stars around it
Twinkle bright
In this peaceful
Quiet night
Amazed by the Creator’s
Infinite might
To create such majesty
In the dark of night
When you hug
Someone goodbye
For the last time
All the memories
Flood your heart
And fall freely
As the tears
Down your face
When you say
“I love you”
And let them go
And trust them
In the hands of the Father
When you know
The hope of tomorrow
That one day
On a brighter day
In a better place
You’ll meet again
When you realize
That death is just
A part of life
A new beginning
A soul that rises
From the grave
When you realize that
Our stories
Are being written
Each day
By our decisions
How we live
Who we love
Where we go
When you realize
That each of us
Has a
Precious
Unknown
Moment in time
When we’ll meet
Eternity
When we’ll leave
This world behind
When we’ll see Yeshua
Face to face
And if we know Him
He’ll accept us
Into His embrace
When you realize
The meaning of life
And your heart
Can’t contain it
And your mind
Can’t explain it
When you know
You are human
And He is God
When you know
You are broken
And He is whole
When you realize
You are nothing
Without Him
Completely dependent
Upon him
For every breath
Every day
Every hour
When you know
You’re alive
To make a difference
To change the world
To live for God
And die for God
And live again
With God
Eternally
When you feel
So small
In this picture
So big
When you fall
To your knees
In worship
And lift up
Your hands
In praise
When you face
The darkness
And see the light
When you say goodbye
And your joy
Is still bright
When you let go
Of one you love
When you realize
Why you’re alive

What do I pray
To the One who calls
The stars by name
Trillions
Beyond what I can see
Sparkling
For the King of Kings
What do I know
Of His plans for me
He says
Let go
Trust is complete
It takes
Every part of me
My broken heart
And shattered dreams
The scars that have healed
And yet they bleed
The thoughts that I keep
Buried deep
My heart wants a fight
But can it battle Elohim?
The One who gives life
To everything
It’s all in the open
Open sky
Clear before You
Like the stars each night
This is surrender
I give up the fight
What can I pray
To the One Host High
Except
Thy will be done
Tonight
I am nothing
Without Your light
Yesterday
My heart was heavy
It pulled me to the ground
Stained knees
In the dirt
Muttered words
Broken thoughts
How could I pray?
When a prayer seemed so small
Compared to the vastness of the unknown
Compared to the infinite sky between
You and me
I am dust
And dust can’t speak
So I opened Your book
And Your book spoke for me
Your words spoke light
Let there be
And light pierced the darkness
And composed a symphony
Stars and planets
Land and sea
They are all still singing
Holy, Holy
Yahweh, Almighty
Who was and is
And is to come
I am dust
And dust can’t speak
I am fragile
And I am weak
Come and breathe life into me
And I will be
Forever Yours
Forever free
Don’t live in the past
Don’t live in the future
Live today
As if it’s all you’ll have
Live it fully
Live it humbly
Live it with abundant grace
Live it for the glory of the One who paints the sky
Who holds the past and the future
Today and forever
In His hands of mercy and love
Faith isn’t a feeling
It’s more like a knowing
Deep inside your soul
That you are not alone
Never alone
It’s reality
Bright
Free
Everlasting
