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
