Beyond the Skies

Beyond the bluest sky.
Farther than we can see.
Eyes of hope gaze down
Despite our unbelief.

Heaven opens in grace.
Angelic beings descend.
To watch over and care.
To protect and defend.

Your sovereign goodness
Fertilizes the possible.
Unfailing love pries open
Doors to the plausible.

Why such acts of mercy
And undeserved grace?
Your well of faithfulness is
A fount in the driest days.

Even as the clouds form -
Casting shadows of lies.
Rays of truth find a way
From beyond the skies.

Your eyes stay upon us.
Revealing peace and love.
The Light of the world
Shines down from above.

Draw us into Your heart
And forgive us our sins.
Mount us on Your wings
As our new life begins.

May Your Word be a Light
And a lamp unto our feet.
Cleanse us from blindness
And give us Your eyes to see.

May others see You in us.
And be drawn to the skies.
May they find beyond them
The true source of Light
