God in heaven, Creator of the earth,
My heart is filled with wonder
As I consider the inky-black sky
Filled with countless points of light.
It’s dizzying to consider how immense the universe is.
And you are over and in every part of it.
And when I consider the whimsical penguin,
Black and white like the sky,
Marching miles to the sea,
Or standing for months with its child on its feet.
How strange and marvelous is your creation.
There is so much that fills me with wonder.
You as the Creator of it all are more wonderful still.
The sacrifice of Christ our Savior is also a great wonder to me.
How dark was his night. How few the stars!
As the sky grew dark during the day,
You were his only point of light.
And you left him there
Out of love for us,
The people living in darkness.
I praise you, Father, our companion in the night.
I praise you, Jesus, the light of the world.
I praise you, Holy Spirit, divine light in our hearts.
