Psalm 8: The Moon and the Stars
--------
When I consider your heavens
The work of your fingers
The moon and the stars
Which you have set in place
What are women and men that you are mindful of them?
Or human beings that you care for them?
Yet you have made them just a little lower than the angels
And crowned them with glory and honor
---------
It's getting hard to find dark these days
Our artificial suns blaze away the night
So only the brightest stars are visible
If you want to make your problems look small
I highly recommend you visit a mountain top at night
See the blanket of stars unfurled as the sun sets
Watch the moon rise on the horizon
It is glorious
But God says you are glorious too
You are one of God's favorite stars
--------
Bright morning stars are rising
And day is breaking
In my soul
