I Am So Small

I am so small when I go to the mall--
so many people, just like in New York--
I stand and stare, the buildings are so tall,
the fancy people there, and me the dork.

Travel abroad--the cities are so full,
the airplane clouds, afraid I’m gonna fall,
I check the globe, huge as a miracle,
and in the sky the stars are like a wall.

I stand before You, God, I am sooo small,
You are so vast, and then You touch my face,
Your love fills me, then I’m not small at all,
You make me big--to fit Your big embrace.

My busy time on earth--immense to me,
until You show me all eternity.
