Perfection

I wish I could say that I took some excellent pictures of yesterday’s eclipse.
I did not.
I wish I could say that I at least got some fun pictures of us in those goofy (but oh-so-necessary) eclipse glasses.
I did not.

But I did sit with friends, throw my head back, and watch in awe  (with those goofy glasses on) as the moon munched away at the sun until it was completely hidden. And at that moment we spontaneously broke into the Doxology.  For Great is our God – and He is greatly to be praised for the wonder of His marvelous creation!

Sabbath Rest – All Praise to Him

Apparently, there is some Eclipse Thing happening tomorrow. (Just kidding – we’re in the Path of Totality, so we have our eclipse glasses ready!) But it’s a good reminder about who it was who set those stars in place and named them!  And who is worthy of all praise and glory!

VERSE 1
All praise to Him, the God of light
Who formed the mountains by His might
All praise to Him Who names the stars
That sing His fame in skies afar
All praise to Him Who reigns in love
Who guides the galaxies above
Yet bends to hear our every prayer
With sovereign pow’r and tender care

VERSE 2
All praise to Him whose love is seen
In Christ the Son, the Servant King
Who left behind His glorious throne
To pay the ransom for His own
All praise to Him Who humbly came
To bear our sorrow, sin, and shame
Who lived to die, Who died to rise
The all-sufficient sacrifice

VERSE 3
All praise to Him whose pow’r imparts
The love of God within our hearts
The Spirit of all truth and peace
The fount of joy and holiness
To Father, Son, and Spirit now
Our souls we lift, our wills we bow
To You, the triune God, we raise
With loving hearts our song of praise
