Gazing up at the great sky

Gazing up at the great sky

I yearn to fly!

I try

but sigh

so lost in my mind

The true way I cannot find.

Christ shines

as true light

guides my heart into flight;

Shows me man’s in God’s image

to contain Him

And to represent Him

corp’rate expression bright.

Eternal Word incarnate

Spirit became;

To transform us

life and nature He imparts.

’Tis God’s New Test’ment econ’my

as a great wheel

Spreading to all earth—and I

too

have a part!

In this day

how blest are we

to thus aspire:

The kingdom gospel

as seed of life

Hundredfold to multiply.

Let’s go forth as slaves

to disciple all men

May He shine ever brighter

till that day when

Christ comes as King and through us is manifest.
