When I Ponder

When I ponder the greatness of God

All else is but a whisper

Oceans surge, lightening strikes

And nations tremble

His glory exudes from the highest place

Oh but for a taste

from the storehouse of heaven

When I ponder the greatness of God

How can I not lose my life

For I am but dust

Who else can I trust

When I was only dirt

In mercy, He gave me breath

When I ponder the greatness of God

I see my Savior's face

His eyes flash fire

His hair is snow white

Brilliant splendor is His covering

In Him darkness is light

When I ponder the greatness of God

I struggle with words

For the One who is and was and is to come

Lets me know I am heard

To stand before my glorious Prince

With His arms opened wide

Puts the demons to flight

And hell gets left behind

When I ponder the greatness of God

Creation leaves me in awe

For His fingerprints leave 

Reflections for all to see

The toddler giggles

The squirrels flee

The eagle soars

Then there's me

When I ponder the greatness of God

I marvel at the thought

That His love is pure

Before I even loved Him

Of me He was sure

He chose my flesh as His temple

Completely God

Surrounded by puss oozing pimples

When I ponder the greatness of God

My eyes flood with tears

For all those who refuse

As I did in past years

I have committed every sin in the Book

I have played the role of a crook

But when I ponder the greatness of God

I understand

It's not about me

But the love of the Son of Man
