(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!

As a young teenager I could not believe that God who made the sun and stars could love me. Thanks to my friends and their parents I finally realized He could. This song describes how I felt. Love it.I am now 75 and still love the Lord.

A truly beautiful song. And what message. I'd really love to do this song in church. Only the acc. mp3 is not like the background on the vocal mp3. Wish it was the same. I love the song anyway.

Ever since me and Eva have been seperated I could never stop thinking of her. This song reminds me well of her. She never stops believing in Gods. Those memories I treasure will leave a happy ending in the future. xoxoxoxox

When I first heard this song, I thought it was a song that teaches us a god exists. My best freind Clare (living in Cork) was always afraid of death and wondering if there is no God until she heard this. I never get to see her, but we are so close in life. As long as I keep her in memory Im never going to lose her.

I have always believed in God. My freind Eva Lawson (who lives in Dublin) has told me that not seeing God is a sure sign he exists. This song is beautiful.

My daughter, Hope, who lives in Ireland with her mother and two brothers found this song on the internet and told me how much she likes it. I now have the music and will learn to play it for her. It is a reminder that however far you are from those you love, the same God watches over us all.

I love this song sooooo much, that when I was asked to sing in a concert in one of our Churches, people said it touched their hearts.

Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It has true meaning and the music and melody is exceptional. The singer has a terrific voice, her voice blends well with the music.

So touching lyrics, though my english is poor,i got blessed from it. Thanks. God bless you and your service.i try one to share:
Lord, i love you,
Cause you loved me first!
What a love from You!
I wondered?
That ,You ---the creator of all univese
Who holds up every stars now
and counts every steps i went.
You, it is You, Oh,My Dearest Lord,
you came down to the earth ,
went up to the cross,
buried in a tomb,
resurrected from death,
and ascend to Heaven,
just for me,
just to show Your love to me!
Oh, my Lord Jesus,
How loveable You are to me!
i worship You,
i bow down before You,
i offer all my life to You!
i love You!my Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen!
Yours brother in China

This song is amazing, both lyrics and melody. Thank you very much Elton, Larry,Christa and of course Silvia, you all are simpy great. Keep up the good work! We have been using some of your work in church with the choir, we started less than a year ago and already we are doing wonders praising God in song. God's blessing be with you all....

Wow, I thoroughly love the song, BUT on the power point presentation do you think the fade in should come from the other direction because it makes it really hard to sing along when the words start on the right hand side. Just a thought. When my 80 year old mother gets the internet after Easter I shall be sending this to her because we have just had a really bad trott with my younger sister dying of breast cancer, then my father getting Ca of the bowel - supposidly all removed, and my mother with Ca of the lung (both sides) never smoked a day in her life. Anyway to cut a long story short Mum thought she was going to lose her faith because of my sister and I think this will really help her.
