Sky Artist

Mesmerized by uncountable stars
So vast I can't understand
A twinkle of how breathtaking You are
You spoke them to be with Your command

Your canvas makes our planet feel small
It's beauty we can't replicate
A greater wish than any I can recall
Is to be with You face to face

You make the clouds start dancing across the sky
You paint the sunset colours and the starlight
I glimpse Your beauty in the sunrise -
The Sky Artist beyond these sights

Where could I go to run from You?
Neither mountains nor valleys nor seas
Always Your hand will lead me to
Where Your hand is holding me

Beside my Maker I am just dust
Yet I'm not worthless in Your sight
In pain, in fear, when it feels hard to trust
You give me songs in the night

You make the clouds start dancing across the sky
You paint the sunset colours and the starlight

I glimpse Your beauty in the sunrise -
The Sky Artist beyond these sights


If I could sail across the sky
Still I could not get to You
So separated, lost am I
From all the messed up things I do

But You came down from Your glorious throne
Through the pain You loved the hardest
Died in my place to call me Your own
Rose from the grave as the great Sky Artist

You make the clouds start dancing across the sky
You paint the sunset colours and the starlight

I glimpse Your beauty in the sunrise -
The Sky Artist beyond these sights
