I am one in seven billion
You are one in seven billion I am carbon the stars of the sky and I We are made of the same dust My size in the relative spectrum of things Is a dot with 133 zeros after it And then a one But in those 545,910 quintillion miles That you stretch across my known universe You noticed me My God. My God! I am full of light Of oxygen Of carbon Of water I have lungs that filter air through my body Capillaries to take life through my veins And marrow to live inside of my bones You are one out of seven billion You are millions multiplied And multiplied more When I do the math Numbers with so many zeros come out That I don't even know their names But you know mine You know me and are calling me You love me Even while I was content Sitting on a couch in apathy You hung in the balance You hung For what? For me? For the joy set before You You went to the cross Enduring its pain And scorning its shame My God. You're a better poet than I am And a better lover too You are beautiful You are a billion squared There is a river of life That flows through you. The stars are hidden in your skin Oceans in your stomach And a story that is older than time Hidden within everyone of your cells You are a miracle among miracles That you can stand? Balance. Run! Walk! On a ball. That is spinning in circles At thousands of miles and hour And spinning some more You are an incredible balancer And wonders upon wonders You have sight And with that sight You can look back in time Eight minutes at a time Sometimes more And You, You use that eight minute old light to: Let me see Be warm To live You are a billion times a billion Millions multiplied over and over again You are a miracle And You- Jesus You are incredible My God! You're incredible.
