One Day

Suddenly; I looked up to the sky
I had been outside praying just past midnight
Then I became speechless
Still couldn’t take my gaze off the heavens
 
I felt drawn to its vastness
No word is adequate to describe the awesome
A combination of beauty and mystery
What lies behind the cloud?
 
My thought roamed to Jesus
He ascended into the heavens
This was no fluke, the disciples were witness
And one day we shall have that privilege
 
As I kept gazing
I marveled at the Great God of creation
I considered His effortless might
His love, kindness and all-round good
 
I wondered if I deserved His help I have received
I regarded the prayers I just said
I compared my requests to the great expanse of the heavens
I believe I got my answers. It’s done
 
I don't want to miss the lift up
What wants to keep me away?
Sin no way.
I suddenly felt weak on my knees
 
As I saw myself bow low in adoration
Great Good God; yet mindful of small me
Indeed your world is a wonder
And you are the greatest builder
