We sang this amazing song today. It fits right into my week, with what we have been discussing in my Christian Thought and Culture class, on the amazing character of God's creation. Out of all the millions of galaxies, He chose to put us in this one, where the sun supplies enough energy (with constant explosions that take place periodically, by which new stars and planets are birthed) for our earth all these million years (regardless of which Creation theory you adopt!) What's more it's not too cold (too near the sun) or too hot (too far from it) but just nice for life to exist in planet earth. Even a common element like carbon that most matters are made of, requires a degree of precision, for 2 molecules of helium (forming an unstable berrylium) to vibrate sufficiently and collide with another loose molecule of helium to form carbon. If you think this is technical, you'll be most impressed that the guest lecturer, Dennis Danielson, who delivered this lecture, is actually an English major and lectures in the Arts Dept in UBC! But on the other hand, he addresses the American Society of Physicists. What an amazing diversity. As I contemplate on the lyrics of this song, it is not hard to appreciate this, especially in this beautiful city of Vancouver. Facing the ocean, with the hills on the other; summer, spring, fall and winter; with the beautiful nature all around and etc.

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea,
Creation's revealing Your majesty.
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring,
Every creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming...

(Chorus)
Indescribable, Uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God.
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim,
You are amazing God.

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go,
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light,
Yet conceals it to give us the coolness of night?
None can fathom...

(Chorus)

Incomparable, Unchangeable,
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same.
You are amazing God.
