With my finite eye I see
But one small patch of sky
I know that there is more
Even Hubble cannot spy
As a human I am set
I am limited and small
I am bound by my restrictions
Mind, body, soul
Greater minds than mine have struggled
Grappled with infinity
What’s behind our furthest probing
Technological modernity
No one knows…no one knows
All our planning all our scheming
All our dreams and all our hopes
All ambitious calculations
Telescopes, stethoscopes
Then a single minute virus
Brings all nations to a halt
Doctors, leaders all flipflopping
Economic somersault
But the ways of the Almighty
Are far higher than my own
And his plans for all eternity
Are for good and good alone
As the rain that falls from heaven
Soaks the earth and grows the seed
So the word of God is realized
And his purpose far exceeds
All our fears and all our sorrows
All our needs and every prayer
Gain perspective when we simply
Gaze and look up in the air
