He Is

The maker, the keeper of wisdom, the truth and light 
Your ways steeped in darkness of the land
You are the maker of ignorance, dark destroyer of right
The earth is kissed by the sky, a gift from God
The maker

We step onto the path of stars, destined to make celestial history
First of a kind, last of a kind are we falling from his grace
Never again to see the light of heavens warm embrace
Man is kissed by the sky, a gift from God
The maker

Dust to dust, ash to ash and all that will return again
While we sit and rust in earthly sins, can you not feel?
Do not be asleep when you are called to come home
The graves are kissed by the sky, a gift from God
Life's taker
