Portrait of Your Majesty  (C)

There are pictures in our Sunday schools and pictures on our walls
Pictures that I hold inside my mind
Pictures of a carpenter 2000 years ago
When he wore our flesh and body for a while
Pictures of a white-haired man or shepherd on a hill
Sometimes all I see is just Your feet
but when I take a moment just to think how big You are
The tiny human picture's incomplete

Chorus:
The big blue Nebraska sky is an image of Your love
always there to cover over me
From horizon to horizon with the rising of the sun
and late at night Your bright infinity
paints a portrait of Your majesty for me

You stretch from far beyond the farthest star that I can see
all the way down here to just outside my skin
and if the words I'm reading are truth I can believe
your spirit makes a temple deep within

Something in that imagery is causing me to kneel
in worship when I see the endless blue
it sings to me Your glory in a language I can feel
the power and the wonder that is You      Chorus
