I LOOKED UP

I looked up in the sky today and wondered if you knew

How many times a day I spend just thinking about you

I wake and see the sunrise spreading glory across the sky

And stare in true amazement without a "when" or "why"

I know of God's creation and His loving heart, so true

'Cause He saw fit to give His all and He shared it all with you

I feel His holy presence in all the beauty here

And His tender mercy lingers behind my every tear

I know I'm far from perfect and that's just fine with Him

Because He's working from the inside, not from the outside looking in

For His compassion, there is no limit and His promises are true

Giving me sweet assurance that He's taking care of you

Mom, I'll miss you ALWAYS and as I lay down my head

My eyes will close in restful peace, as I remember what He said

He told me not to worry, smiling as I frowned

And as I looked to Heaven, searching . . . . . I felt you looking down
