Open Space

How far and open is space
Does the sky above hide his face
When the heavens roll back 
The stars fall like apples from a tree
What shall we see

He hung the earth upon nothing
Calls the stars by name
Not one fails to appear before him
Light he has brought to the darkness
Darkess of space runs and hides

How great is the Lord's creation
Can a man's mind behold all
I think not in flesh
For in spirit is best for us to see
