HOW BIG IS GOD?

As I reminisce about some of the old Christian songs we sing,
I'm reminded of one that says "we serve a very big God",
But as I consider the lyrics of that song, within my heart I could hear a thought ring;
A God that created the heavens and the earth must be a very big God,
So, here goes the question, "How Big is God?",

When I consider the depth of the Atlantic and the width of the Pacific,
As I look across the Himalayas, and gaze in awe at Mt. Everest, within me, a feeling is specific;
It's a feeling that leaves me awe-struck, and amazed,
Then I stare into the vegetative complexities of the Rain forest zones in my mind's eye, and I become dazed,
Just immediately, that thought is re-awakened-a God that created all these must be a very big God,
And the question remains, "How Big is this God?"

After much meditation, cogitation and contemplation, there is a revelation;
Within me as to how big this God is, the glory of His might has filled my comprehension,
The purity of his personality, and the mystery of his divinity,
Is beyond the realm of man's mortality,
Did you get the picture yet? Stay with me,

He is a God so big, he holds the sands of the seashores in the palm of his hands,
He is a God so big, he measures the span of the firmaments with the breadth of his hands,
A God so big, he sits on His throne and yet the whole world is before him,
A God so big the seas and waters are parted by the blast of his nostrils,
Yet, some still ask, "How Big is God?",

And I tell them, this God is so big, he is at every place at the same time, so I call Him Omnipresent,
He is so big, that even the mysteries of science to Him are simple, so I call Him Omniscient,
Listen, this God is so big, his more powerful than the most powerful, so I call Him the Omnipotent,
In case you are still asking, "How Big is God?",
Look no further, for here is your answer;
This God of whom I speak turns the gigantic forest trees into dancers,
As they sway from side to side by the wave of his hands,
Ah! This God is so big that the hills and the mountains respond in one band,
And mother earth quakes, when they hear the sound of His voice,
But, my joy about this God is that in spite of his size and might,
He still hears me when I call in the middle of the night,
He still dwells in the body of an infinitesimal me, by His spirit,
He still loves me and cares about my soul and spirit,
He still hears me when I call, and picks up when I fall,
Now you know that this God is big enough to fill the expanse of the earth with his presence,
And yet wonderful enough to occupy the small space within my entity with His spirit and presence,
Hallelujah!
