Great Beyond God

There's only God there in the great beyond,
there's only God here in my soul with me,
how to this God of all should I respond?
God rules it all and yet He makes me free.
Into vast space the universe expands,
and yet the space is greater in my soul.
Almighty God here holds me in His hands,
yet leaves my soul to, lo, my sole control.
Eternity is vaster than all space,
the universe that grows at lightning speed,
yet God with all His might offers His grace
to strengthen me who's just a weak, weak reed.
O God, my faith tells me all this is true,
may I fill up my space with love for You.
