Finding God

If tomorrow's sun should falter and fail to light the morning sky; if the stars their courses alter and, erratic, collide and die; if the moon, that fair pretender, slips naked, aimless, through the night, disrobed of all her splendor and frigid from the lack of light; still may my soul go on daring and unafraid my footsteps fall in the light that glows unerring from the One who, wooing, calls; for that love light burns undaunted beamed from the heart of Heaven's Dove; though by darkness I am taunted, my soul, press onward in God's love.

Hmmm...Now why should I be surprised that you would enter and win in a contest about God? Just can't figure that out...I usually try to pick out a favorite line but just can't do it here but the first eight verses? Oh my....
