SPACIOUS MAGNITUDE, by                    
Last Line: The one whose name is love?
Subject(s): Blessings; Faith; Belief; Creed


"Lift up your eyes to heaven above!
Who hath created these things?"
They are the handiwork of God,
Not of mortal beings.

Alas! How weak is sinful man;
How few his tragic days!
Could man have made the glowing sun,
Or planned the Milky Way?

Just pause a moment here with me,
And view the graphic sky;
In that celestial dome we see
Why stars shall never die.

Ah! Glittering rows of sparkling gems,
God's work of ancient days;
The magnitude of telescopes
Are but outskirts of His ways.

Compare just one lone Asteroid
With helpless fallen man,
'Tis only God can lionize
The heavens with a span.

Do not these little orbs of light
Speak wisdom from above,
And call upon us to adore
The One whose name is Love?
