How Big Is God

Though men may strive to go beyond the reach of space
To walk beyond the distant shining stars
This world’s a room so small within my Master’s house
The open sky’s but a portion of his yard.

How big is God, how big and wide his vast domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He’s big enough to rule the mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.

As winter’s chill may cause the tiny seed to fall
To lie asleep to wake by summer’s rain
The heart grown cold will warm and spark with life anew
The Master’s touch will bring the glow again.

How big is God, how big and wide his vast domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He’s big enough to rule the mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
