Mercy
The stars that fill the midnight sky,
or single grains of sand
cannot compare to all his works
too vast to understand.
What number counts the drops of rain
that make the oceans wide?
How many hours and days and years
fill up eternal life?
How far the furthest star lies from
the meager grasp of man?
How far across this universe
hath he stretched forth his hand?
What mercy fills The Father’s heart
which grants us time to grow?
Too much for us to comprehend…
too much for us to know.
