Faith Filled Astronauts

Astronauts afloat in space to labor

Recall, in awe,  "How Great Thou Art!"

Remind to love God and your neighbor

And remember who and where YOU are:

Earth, our spaceship, gives us a place

To live in the universe, the cosmos

God's gift of love to the human race

Let's love Him back by spreading love also!

"When I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us, who were created, you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth. But you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos," he began. 

"I think as we go into Easter Sunday thinking about all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are and that we are the same... And that we got to get through this together," Glover concluded.

[Verse 1] Astronauts afloat in the dark Working in that star-filled hush Looking down on blue and emerald Hearts fall quiet in the rush They recall in holy wonder Ancient words that still impart Galaxies can’t hold the thunder Of “my God, how great Thou art” [Chorus] How great Thou art, O Maker From distant stars to every beating heart Teach us to love our God and neighbor Remember who and where we are This little world, our spinning station Held inside Your open arms Earth, our gracious, given spaceship A gift of love to all Your own [Verse 2] Every cloud and curling shoreline Every forest, every flame Every language, every lifetime Numbered, noticed by Your name You have placed us here together Not to conquer, but to care Send us out in simple kindness So Your love is everywhere (oh-oh) [Chorus] How great Thou art, O Maker From distant stars to every beating heart Teach us to love our God and neighbor Remember who and where we are This little world, our spinning station Held inside Your open arms Earth, our gracious, given spaceship A gift of love to all Your own [Bridge] So we love You back by loving each other Every stranger, every sister, every brother From the ground we till to the skies above Let our lives sing out Your endless love (your endless love) [Chorus] How great Thou art, O Maker From distant stars to every beating heart Teach us to love our God and neighbor Remember who and where we are This little world, our spinning station Held inside Your open arms Earth, our gracious, given spaceship A gift of love to all Your own

[Verse 1] You called me out in 1969 Said I’d been staring at the sky too long You took that gray report from my hands And wrote on it, “Child, you still belong” Astronauts floating in a silver hush Made me wonder where my feet had gone Then Your praise came back like a thunderclap And I remembered where I’m from

[Pre-Chorus] Earth under our boots, mercy in our lungs A borrowed home, a holy one

[Chorus] How great Thou art, how great Thou art You set the stars, then set our hearts How great Thou art, how great Thou art Teach us to love like You are Love God, love your neighbor, near and far We’re just travelers on a blue-lit cart How great Thou art, how great Thou art And love is where we are

[Verse 2] The oceans hold the morning like a bowl The fields keep folding into gold A mother at the sink, a child at the gate A stranger with a sack of heavy cold You gave us bread enough for every hand You gave us names and ways to share If this world is Yours and we are Yours Then every act of love is prayer

[Pre-Chorus] Earth under our boots, mercy in our lungs A borrowed home, a holy one

[Chorus] How great Thou art, how great Thou art You set the stars, then set our hearts How great Thou art, how great Thou art Teach us to love like You are Love God, love your neighbor, near and far We’re just travelers on a blue-lit cart How great Thou art, how great Thou art And love is where we are

[Bridge] So when I drift and call myself alone Bring me back to flesh and bone Back to the hurt I can heal today Back to the name I bear at home If heaven is the end we’re longing for Then make us kinder on the way

[Final Chorus] How great Thou art, how great Thou art You set the stars, then set our hearts How great Thou art, how great Thou art Teach us to love like You are Love God, love your neighbor, near and far We’re just travelers on a blue-lit cart How great Thou art, how great Thou art And love is where we are
