The canvas of the heavens

In the fabric of the night sky
stretched above the dome
the shimmering lights
the hand of the creator
setting each to right

He assigns each star a name
in the whole cosmos
sequins in the night
loving us richly
each one of us a star

A light shining brightly
in his loving hands
holding us closely,
alive with the Spirit’s fire
sharing the blood of the lamb.
