The night sky beckons
Through an open window
The wispy curtains flutter
To and fro
And I stand
Big-eyed and breathless
Almost seeing God
Before such hurting sweetness
Glittering diamond shards
Twinkle from infinity
And I dare to dream of more,
A promised God-made city
How deeply within our hearts
Is this magnetic yearning
And man has known it
In all Earth's troubled turnings
A pulling and an urging
To join with what's been lost
To touch at last, the Father's hand
We cry, " what is the cost?"
The requirement was appalling
And no one had the price
Except the Man from Heaven
The God-man, Jesus Christ
He paid with love-filled pain
Underneath the scourge and nails
He bowed His head and lifted us
And tore the temple veil
He alone is worthy
And why He loved me , I don't know
He took my sin while sinless,
And let it bring Him low
Now the night sky hangs above
Just as it was before
And I know the Father listens
Because of what my Jesus bore
