Stars

“He made the stars also, and God set them in the firmament 

of the heaven to give light upon the earth”

STARS

A man and his son one starry night

together beheld the heavens bright.

“How do the stars stay in the sky,

Shining way up there on high?”

The father asked his little lad and

Thoughtfully the boy said “Dad,

God it is who holds them all,

So to the earth they cannot fall”

We may observe a lesson here,

For do we not so often fear

When trials and testing sore we face

That we may not stay in out place,

But may worry, fret and moan,

Perhaps in pain and all alone

Thus in our weakness fail and fall,

We are so helpless after all!

Shall God who holds the stars in place,

Not hold us also by His grace?

He’ll never cease for us to care,

Not send us what we cannot bear.

Trusting Him we shall not fall,

But shine in triumph through it all.

As those bright stars, upheld secure,

Safe in His care for evermore!
