Higher Place

 She'd seen photos of the Earth taken from space
 But a photo couldn't capture the majesty of it
 She wanted to make that journey
 She had to wait a bit

 Then on a moolit night
 She took a ride in a moonbeam
 To see what Earth looked like from space
 She had already seen the photos, but she deemed
 To see it from a higher place

 When she finally reached the moon
 She looked back at Earth
 She was so awed that she began to swoon
 A gem glowing blue for all its worth

 In all of the universe where stars shine bright
 The Earth is a jewel, a beautiful sight
 It moves through space by God's design
 The universe is ruled by a power divine
 
 When she rode the moonbeam back to Earth
 She was all aglow and filled with delight
 She had seen God's glory and his might
 As stars twinkled above, shining bright
