Down to Size

Reaching their branches up into the sky
Swaying softly in the breeze that blows by
No fear about food or how they will be clad
Greeting each day, both the good and the bad.
What do the trees know that we do not know?
Whatever our past, it's by God's grace we grow.

Go outside, lift up your eyes,
Let the trees shrink your worries
Down to size.


Unchanged by the seasons, unmoved by the storm
They were still there long before you were born.
Faithful and steady whatever befall,
Safety and shelter for both big and small.
What say the mountains that we cannot hear?
God's love will not change, so there's nothing to fear.

Go outside, lift up your eyes,
Let the mountains shrink your worries
Down to size


Innumerable pinpoints of raw, intense flame,
God made every one and he knows them by name.
Even when they are concealed from our sight
Still they shine bright in the darkest of night.
What is the song that the stars ever sing?
When all hope is gone, know our God is still King.

Go outside, lift up your eyes,
Let the stars shrink your worries
Down to size.
