God's Movie Star

The movie stars that flit across the screen
can’t hold a candle, God, to Your great role;
You have to be believed to best be seen--
You as the true Creator of our soul.

Instead of just emotion and our feeling,
You do a script for mind and spirit and heart;
with love and care that make You most appealing,
You write the play where I’m the leading part.

Producer and director, Lord, You are,
as You proceed to tell my real-life story,
I co-direct, but You make me the star,
if I act well, mine is the fame and glory.

You make me Your celebrity, O Lord,
Your heaven, my Academy Award.
