So since I basically live in a Christian music bubble called Life 100.3 I have been listening the Owls City's new song Galaxy and I have been dancing to it almost every time. Not only due to the catchy tune but also the lyrics which are somewhat confusing but also rather delightful.
Galaxies
Through the galaxy
Call back the CapCom
Tick off the time bomb
Let felicity fly
Armor the airlock
Blanket the bedrock
And kiss the planet goodbye
Dear God, I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star I would follow this far
Da da da da da dada da
Through the galaxy
Fight back the flight deck
Bring on the breakneck
Cue the solar eclipse
Summit the sunset
Dovetail the dragnet
And blow your backbone to bits
Dear God, I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star I would follow this far
O telescope, keep an eye on my only hope
Lest I blink and get swept off the narrow road
Hercules, you got nothing to say to me
'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need
For He is the saving grace of the galaxies
Dear God, I was terribly lost when the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark
But dear God, You're the only North Star I would follow this far
From what I understand and have heard from interviews this is what he thought it would be like going in space and his reflections on it.
I picture sitting in the seat not really knowing what I am doing yet so excited that the day has finally come. Then as I launch into space I see stars fly past and enter this dark abyss.
Its neat becuase the next line is a direct contrast to this great abyss. God is the North star that is out there that he is willing to go too
the bridge is pretty awesome too! talking about keeping his eyes fixed on the star (Christ) so that he wont step off the narrow road (of salvation)
I like how he makes fun of hercules and says that he is not what he needs rather its the blinding light of the star- the saving grace of the galaxies
This reminds me of my devotions that I was doing this morning as well. In Psalms 19 is says "heavens declare the glory of God the skys proclaim the work of his hand"
Creation around us declares his glory and should bring us to worship him. I was challenged about how to make this Psalm apply to my life but really it was easy. I walked outside and looked up. Then I proceeded to look around, to see grass, tall trees and beautiful flowers. His creation declares his glory and we are to worship him through it.
So I would encourage you to do the same. Its summer! GO OUTSIDE and worship the creator with his creation!
