"Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power, not one faileth" (Isaiah 40:26). "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.... We have also more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place" (2 Peter 1:16-19).
Wonderful witnesses shining their light:
Lift up your eyes and behold them on high!
God calls them all by their names by His might,
As stars tell His glory that fill the night sky.
Wonderful witnesses telling their story:
Peter describes what they saw with their eyes!
The Lord Jesus Christ manifested His glory,
As all of the evidence shown testifies.
Wonderful witnesses greatly abound:
Hundreds of prophecies surely foretold
The suffering and glory of Christ that was found,
As in their fulfillment we clearly behold!
Lord, we give thanks for Your witnesses heard:
The stars in the firmament all by their names,
The eyewitness statements, and prophetic Word,
All in their places Your glory proclaims!
