I lay with eyes wide open
I'm gazing at the stars
Like a thousand brilliant diamonds
Skillfully placed above us
My mind is overwhelmed with beauty
As I hide in the stillness of the night
The darkness and the silence,
Both so easily shattered by a light,
Become a place of refuge
There's beauty all around me and
Sometimes it's hard to see
That the hand that formed creation
Also created me
What am I compared to stars?
To the oceans vast with life?
My intentions aren't always pure
My thoughts easily lead astray
My heart is bruised
and feet are bloody
Because I try to run away
I stumble and I weep
I fall
Oh how easily I fall
And still you pick me up,
and make me new
Ever singing "I love you."
I'm astounded by your mercy
Ever hungry for your grace
Your love is overwhelming
And in fear I hide my face
You've captured my attentions
and You're here to woo my damaged heart
These things I don't deserve,
Yet faithfully you give
I try to run away
and like a child I get lost
I forsake the one who gave me his life
and still he draws me near
So I will sing of this love I'm learning
Please, give me ears to hear.
