“THE HIGHEST HEAVENS”

”THE MOUNTAINS OF EUROPE FROM THIRTY THOUSAND FEET”
“PSALM 36:5-7 “Your loving kindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like a great deep. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
How precious is Your loving kindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
(Hamblen)
As we were flying home from our pilgrimage, I was trying to rest and listening to these words-
“Though man may strive to go beyond the reach of space
To crawl beyond the distant shim'ring 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 and tell, these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule His mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.”
Flying over Europe, supported by those Aluminum wings and sheltered by a thin layer of metal, I listened to those words on my MP3, thankful that I was really sheltered in the Loving Arms of God.
(Stuart Hamblen)
(HOW BIG IS GOD?)
Though men may strive to go beyond the reach of space
To crawl 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 is His domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule his mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
(As winter chill may cause the tiny seed to fall)
To lie asleep till waked by summer's rain
The heart grown cold will warm and trod with life anew
The Master's touch will bring the glow again.
How big is God, how big and wide is His domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule his mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
(God's small enough to live within my heart...)
