The Lesser Light

Finished with my work I climbed into my truck Sat down on the seat Having earned another buck. It rained very hard Just the day before The sky very clear As I closed the door. I turned to my left Looked up in the sky The moon in it's brilliance Shining down from on high. The moon was very full I could not look away Stars in the background What a grand display. Glowing in the sky The moon was very bright Though it were a lightbulb Center stage in the night. Clouds were floating by Illumined by the moon And the earth around me Though midnight were the noon. So I sat and stared Entranced by it all The moon fixed in space I knew it would not fall. Then I was reminded By thoughts from the Book How marvelous His creation As I continued to look. O Lord, how majestic Is Your great name For all in the heavens Declare Your great fame. The moon and the stars In the sky above The work of Your fingers A sign of Your love. Even in their silence They speak a mighty word To all on the earth By all to be heard. So deep in my soul I pondered my thoughts Giving thanks to the Lord For all He has wrought.

This was an actual experience I went through after getting off work one evening.
