~ What Is Man ~

When I consider Thy heavens,
The work of Thy fingers You made.
When I look up at the moon and the stars,
Knowing Thou hast ordained it this way.

What is man, that Thou art mindful of him,
That You would choose to visit us each day?
For You are the One, the Living God,
And You loved us and made us this way.

For You made us a little lower than the angels,
And gave us dominion over the work of Thy hands.
The fowl of the air and the beasts of the field,
You gave to us to help fill our lands.

You put all things under our feet,
Sheep and oxen and all living things.
But the greatest blessing that You set before us,
Was Your Son and the freedom He brings.

Oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name.
Let all the angels of Heaven sing out,
And all the earth proclaim His glory,
Let us forever Praise Him and shout!

Who has set Thy glory above the Heavens,
And the earth You put under our feet.
What is man? We are the creations You made,
And our fellowship with You is so sweet.
