THE FINGERS OF GOD

The Fingers of God reached down today,
bursting forth through a cloud-filled sky.
The brilliant rays of God’s mighty hand
reaching down for you and I.

Like a rainbow that captivates and holds
a beauty beyond compare,
in awestruck wonder it held for me
a vision both amazing and rare.

It’s as if God is saying, “I’m here for you.
Take My hand and don’t let go.
Sense My assurance, mercy, and grace;
no greater love you’ll ever know.”

The next time you see the Fingers of God,
reaching down from Heaven above,
know that in this most marvelous way,
God is showing His Heaven-sent love.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:1
