My eyes scour
Night’s darkest hour
Seeking His moon
Humming a tune
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Instead, I spy His millions of stars
Twinkling, holy
Named by Our Ever Only
What can wash away my sin?
Oh, how I need You, my Lord
One day I shall know their names in your Star Record
For now I pray to be near, so near I lose every ounce of fear
Sometimes in Your presence I know forever
I whisper Hallelujah
Into Heaven’s ear
I praise Your name, Jesus, in secret … behind closed doors
And then out for all to hear
Always through all of my days,
You are my ever-burning Star of Wonder, my only Powerful Savior

“He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power” (Psalm 147:4-5).

Welcome all new followers and those who have been hanging with me awhile now. Just a note, I do not know for certain if we will find out the names of the stars when we meet Him in heaven. I am curious, but we all know what happens to the cat 🙂 So I hope I won’t arrive at the pearly gates with a boat-load of questions. Rather, I sense He uses our earthly questions to keep stirring our wonder and awe.
Join me at 12pm Eastern time for a quick share of how God stirred me this morning. I will go live at https://Facebook.com/jdibble4Him
Have a blessed day, Poetry Friends,
In Christ,
Julie
Dear Julie, these are such inspiring thoughts about our God’s beauty in the heavens. I love this line: “For now I pray to be near, so near I lose every ounce of fear.” The God who created it all, calls us near–how wonderful! Thank you for sharing these precious words tonight.
