Notes About The Poem

Like a Shining Sea of Stars

We are
We are
Like a shining sea of stars

How deep is the dark? How solid’s the ground?
Without saving grace, how can we be found?
The countenance of faithless man does fall.
Search God’s glory — do you hear his call?

We are
We are
Singing in the deep dark sea

Tethered to antimatter— what matters?
Without God our dusty ashen cloud scatters.
Furthermore the earth sinks below our feet.
Forevermore I’ll rather cling to his beat.

O sun
O moon
Gifting light from God above

Stunning how beautiful is saving grace.
Blood, sweat and tears, our fears upon Christ’s face.
All man…all God…his body, bruised and raw.
This royal perfection—without a flaw.

We are
We are
Like a shining sea of stars

How deep is the dark? How solid’s the ground?
Without saving grace, how can we be found?
The countenance of faithless man does fall.
Search God’s glory — do you hear his call?

I feel that Shakespeare was channeled by Kim today "O sun O moon Gifting light from God above"
