The Measurement

With His hand He measured the span of the universe Of which planets, stars along with earth will immerse Like river rock on any given great river's watercourse Yet His hand holds me as a mother that newborn nurse Comforting hand which He measured span of universe Yet when I am sad, lonely, fearful comfort he will disburse All my fear, collect my tears in the jar hold all my remorse Sheltering me from the storms of life away from the concourse Oh! Grand is the hand that measured the span of the universe I can safely trust in His promise as He shelters and endorse By writing my name down in the Book He's my only recourse In His strong great hand fears truly disburse as comes the hearse
