Intergalactic Daydream

"He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them." (Psalm 147:4)


You know every star,
Every planet, every moon,
Every mountain, every canyon,
Every river and lagoon.
You know every child,
Every woman, every man;
Like the fairest constellations,
We are guided by Your hand.

The twinking lights in the heavens,
Fashioned long ago;
The oceans wide and the coastlands
Of worlds we've yet to know:
They brightly burn for you;
They testify of you!

In splendor overlaid,
You've fashioned us in your image;
We are wondrously arrayed,
And we belong to You.
We belong to You!

When the sun has set
And the moon lights up the sea,
There is laughter, there is music
In the waves, and within me.
Peacefully I drift,
Dreaming I have traveled far,
To a galaxy uncharted,
Like a lovelorn, wand'ring star.

The stars that adorn the heavens,
Fashioned long ago;
The oceans and coastlands
Of worlds we've yet to know:
They all belong to You!
They all belong to You!
Here upon this spinning sphere,
In splendor overlaid,
Do we know why we're here?
In your image we are made,
And we belong to You.
We belong to You!

Like the fairest constellations...
We are guided by Your hand...
