The Heavens Proclaim - A poem by Chris Whitler
Inspired by Psalm 19
This shaft of light
Warming my face
Has come millions of miles
Through the darkness of space
Its a word in season
Spoken to me
An apple of gold
To a heart that’s weary
And morning by morning
His mercies are new
He awakens my ear
To what my heart knows is true
Oh the heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The glory of God
And galaxies turn
And gravity pulls
And pushes us on
Further up, further in
And the suns collapse
Falling on their face
And they rend their clothes
And the fabric is pierced
And worlds collide
Mighty cataclysm
And storms recite
The great catechism
Day after day
Pours forth speech
Night by night
Secret knowledge is preached
Oh the heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The glory of God
And the strings dance
“Let there be”
Is still resounding
Inside you and me
And particles spin
The stuff of stars
The heavens proclaim
In my very heart
All of the cosmos
Is traveling on
Riding His wave
Riding His song
Who kindled the flame?
Who taps the baton?
And the universe plays
And is singing us home
Oh the heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The heavens proclaim
The glory of God
