November 1989
Final Draft
my God my most wonderful incredible and awesome God you were before the beginning after the end you are God alone even now
by your hand nothing became
stars in their glory in the grandeur of night, insignificant points of significant size infinite in number far beyond our fondest wish nearer than our dreams and all that is beneath them daystar’s blazing flame nightstar’s changeless ice birds in their sky all filled with blue and green, and air and light! oceans wild with creatures splashing in their dance earth rampant with beasts that climb and dig and run
the center of the universe but off to one side your footstool
and I standing here sudden rock beneath me endless sky above I feel the air inside my lungs and I breathe in and out and in again feeling this body work blood of life racing my veins life itself burning in my heart dreams that rampage across my mind out of the smallest you made me my God! at once I am my father’s growing child and the man that writes these words the marvel that I am the work of your hand
by your grace alone the hand that holds this pen can write I think I feel I love! grown from clumsy grasping but still unsure this heart still full of self can love my friends adore my wife reel in the exuberance of its life in you I who once knew only tears can reach and hold and plan and dream and praise for I alone am nothing the merest man of this mere ball your footstool and yet I am Something for you came for me and bought me whom you made
my God! all I see proclaims you God alone sovereign Lord King of my life
Sorry God, this doesn’t begin to say “Thank you!”
