Back more than we could even ever imagine
Away back further than all the time we know
The stars they were all always there to see
Always had that very special sparkling glow
I can myself still to this day remember
Sleeping out on my closed veranda bed
And at night Id take the biggest pillow
And prop it then right under my very head
Id gaze for hours as a child back then
At the stars upon a summers clearest night
Out of my largest window them I could see
All of them there shining ever so very bright
Id wonder how long they had been there
Giving there twinkling and sublime light
And Id think about all those in history
As well back then enjoying this same sight
Only God himself could ever create the stars
That have been there before all the time we know
And remaining to this very day for us all
The same stars all upon our earth they'd love so
Id think about the three wise men on camels
Who used the star light to find their very way
And I even then would be amazed that even that star
Is still there on high for us all to see today
So much proof of Gods own vow to us on earth
His love till the end of time will always be
Always there to provide all that they do
And like Gods love they all shine for free
Id think of how they always glowed as they do now
And to this day they are all of them the same
Id think thank God for placing them all so very high
As down here some on earth would use them too for gain
But they have always been there so very far away
And their light it travels to us to this very day
Created by God himself further back in time its self
Their brilliance is more sublime than I could ever say.

I would think then thank God they are so high
If they were closer man on earth would want to own
The very stars upon high away up within our sky
