Lonely Words, These

Lift up my eyes to the mountains
   Where will my Help come from?
My help will come from the Lord
   Who created the Heavens and the Earth
                                                   -- Psalm 121

Lovely words, these
   of the Psalmist to Thee
But how do they apply 
   to little old me

O, Lord, you have created
   magnificence on Earth
And perhaps you were present
   when my mother gave birth

Yet when You bring out the Sun by day
   and the myriad Stars at night
When you secure all Natural Laws firmly in place
   Do you still keep my personal needs in sight

They say You rule over this vast universe
   over galaxies near and inconceivably far
So why would You be involved with
   a nothing like me ~ It seems bizarre...

O, Lord, please do not think me a renegade
    some kind of rebel who far off has strayed
I'm one of Your creatures; You created me too
   the only one able to praise and bless You
