As I Gaze At The Stars

This all started with a short poem Christa Ann Kaighn sent by email. I wrote the music and some of the lyrics. Larry adapted Christa's lyrics and added more of his own. Check out Larry's popular web site for more great music. Many thanks to NASA for the pictures I used to create these graphics. You can hear me singing this with the RealAudio link below. - Elton, July 30, 1998

Many thanks to Rhesa for a second midi of this song. - Elton, June 1, 1999

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
"How do I know",
Is what they ask of me;
How can I be sure
Of a God I cannot see?
Then I look up at the stars,
The wonders He has made,
And I cry out for joy
At the beauty He's displayed.

(Chorus)
And He loves me.
The Creator of all
Really loves me
So simple and small.
As I gaze at the stars
In the evening sky,
I'm amazed at all I see.
And to think that the One
Who made the stars above
Gave His only Son for me!

(Verse 2)
When I look into space
the wonder in the skies,
I see beauty and truth
and a love that never dies.
And when I look in a drop
of water very small
There are worlds within worlds.
His care is with them all.

(Chorus)
And He loves me.
The Creator of all
Really loves me
So simple and small.
As I gaze at the stars
In the evening sky,
I'm amazed at all I see.
And to think that the One
Who made the stars above
Gave His only Son for me!

(The remainder is in Elton's midi, but not in Rhesa's)
(Solo)

(Ending)
As I gaze at the stars
In the evening sky,
I'm amazed at all I see.
And to think that the One
Who made the stars above
Gave His only Son for me!
