I Stand and Look...

I Stand and Look...

Michael Hite

I stand and look at the storm

and the wind and waves declare your majesty

The lightning flashes and the earth trembles

The winds roar along their course

and the trees bow down and worship

We, on the earth seek shelter from its relentless

hurrying

We stand in awe of the power displayed

Our vision in the storm is obscured by the raging

We strain to see clearly, what is dimmed by our

struggles

But even in the midst of the storm

You bring calm to your children

For this we know

The great storm will pass

Unending days of cloudless skies await us

By faith our eyes seek to see it

Yet You see it all

The storm speaks of Your greatness

And my heart has heard it

 

Who am I,

so small in this storm,

That You are mindful of me?

With your glory before me

I cannot help but fall to my knees

I am so small

Just one voice among billions

But I know the Creator and He knows me

I am unique in this vastness

I am your special possession

I am your child

I am loved

 

I stand and look at the sea

and the oceans declare your majesty

The storm that was once so great

now appears small in comparison

 

The expanse of the waters and the depths of its

canyons express your power

With a word you spoke it into existence

With a word you carved its fathoms

The grains of sand under my feet are inadequate

To number the creatures, You placed under its waves

Swarms of fish dart through its currents

Giants prowl its depths

Life teems even in the darkness

Yet You see it all

The seas speak of Your greatness

And my heart has heard them

 

Who am I,

so small on this shore,

That You are mindful of me?

With your glory before me

I cannot help but fall to my knees

I am so small

Just one voice among billions

But I know the Creator and He knows me

I am unique in this vastness

I am your special possession

I am your child

I am loved

 

Who am I,

so small in this universe,

That You are mindful of me?

With your glory before me

I cannot help but fall to my knees

I am so small

Just one voice among billions

But I know the Creator and He knows me

I am unique in this vastness

I am your special possession

I am your child

I am loved
