How big is God?

Did you ever wonder just how big God is? I was reading Jeremiah 31:35 & it made me stop & think.
God's Message, from the God who lights up the day with sun and brightens the night with moon and stars,Who whips the ocean into a billowy froth, whose name is God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
... and this reminded me of a song I learned at a YCF conference in California in 1973.

Blackwood Brothers sing How Big is God.
Here are the lyrics
Though man may strive to go beyond the reach of space
To crawl beyond the distant shim'ring stars
This world's a room so small within my Master's house
The open sky's but a portion of His yard

How big is God? How big and wide His vast domain
To try and tell, these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule His mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart


As winter's chill may cause the tiny seed to fall
To lie asleep till waked by summer's rain
The heart grown cold will warm and throb with life anew
The Master's touch will bring the glow again


Just think - Our awesome God is big enough to not only to create it but to rule this mighty universe & still small enough to live within my heart!


A Thanksgiving Psalm (Psalm 100)
1-2 On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.

3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.

4 Enter with the password: "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.

5 For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
