Pastor Evan

I Am Going to Walk Among the Stars

Earth has been fine and I have trod,

Worn and lonely paths below

But always has my Spirit looked high above

To the stars and their mysteries sublime.

“The heavens declare the glory of God,”

The Shepherd boy wrote to us

As night unto night he gazed

At the light of 5000 circling suns.

Pride falls away the moment we gaze

At the vastness that we call space.

I am little on earth, a simple speck,

But the Savior promised eternity

And I shall walk among the stars.

I know I’m taken from the earth

And from a simple clod

And walk thru this life my heavy step to plod

But I shall walk among the stars

With eager steps and free.

I believe I have my Saviour’s words

That this will some day be.

Evan J. Jones, I, November 2003
