Music video slide show created and inspired by the beautiful Christian worship song "Let My Words Be Few" by Phillips, Craig & Dean. I couldn't sleep very well one night this past week so I decided to peruse the Internet while and at the same time listening to the Christian music radio station. I came across something online that peaked by interest. What I was viewing were actual photos from the NASA Hubble telescope. One of the photos was that of a nebula in our galaxy. A nebula is a large and colorful conglomeration of gas, dust and other matter that can be several light years in size. A nebula is what occurs prior to the birth of a new star. The short description next to the photo stated that this nebula was so far away that the image snapped by the Hubble telescope took place 3,000 years before Jesus was born on earth. The attached article went on to explain that our Milky Way galaxy is nearly 100,000 light years across. In other words if we could travel at the speed of light, or 186,000 miles per second, it would take 100,000 years to cross it. If you do the math, that is 586,971,360,000,000,000. For the record, that's 586 quadrillion, 971 trillion, 360 billion miles across. And within our own galaxy, the nearest sun to our sun is 4 light years way, which is a "mere" 25 trillion miles. And we are only talking about the Milky Way galaxy, not to mention the hundreds or even thousands galaxies around it.
God is so incredible and so awesome we can barely comprehend how big He really is. But God didn't create just things that are incredibly huge. As we all know, all matter is made up of incredibly tiny particles. As early as the 1800's, scientists believed that molecules were the smallest structures in the universe. They were able to see them with a regular microscope. But by the end of that century they realized that molecules were made up of even smaller particles called atoms. Atoms cannot be seen by any typical microscope, it requires an electron microscope. So just how small is an atom. If you lined up the atoms in a straight line on a period printed on this page it would take 2 million atoms to cross the diameter of that period. And if that is not incomprehensible enough, today we know that there are particles that are thousands of times smaller inside the atom. For example the neutron, a particle located inside the atom is 10,000 times smaller than the atom.
Again, God is so incredible and so awesome we can barely understand how significant He really is. During His creation, God was the ultimate chemist, physicist, astronomer, and biologist. He was most certainly an artist, a maker of all of our world universe's beauty. He was the lawmaker of all of the unseen forces that make "nature" orderly and predictable. The universe as it exists was not produced by some cosmic accident. I know with all my heart that the conditions of creation were intricately planned and considered. A mindless uncontrolled "big bang" would result in destruction and chaos, not the life and order we now see. Thus God created the big and the small, so incredibly big and so infinitely small that is difficult to describe or comprehend it.
The most amazing thing to me is that as small and insignificant we truly are relative to the size and complexity of the entire universe that God created, the Bible tells us that what the Lord wants most is a relationship with each and everyone of us and He is there for us at all times; if only we will reach out to Him. And if we conclude that God truly is the maker of all things huge and small as described previously then why do we have difficulty surrendering our will to him. Are we so blind or arrogant to think that our problems; our hurts, our habits or our hang-ups are too big or too complicated for God?
That evening as I was looking at the photos of the stars, planets and galaxies and researching related articles, a song came on the radio called Let My Words Be Few. One of the verses in that song hit me like a lightning bolt, "I Stand in Awe of You". That is exactly how I felt at that very moment; that is, how awesome God really is. This backdrop was the inspiration for the following music video that I created that night using real photos that I found on the Internet and that beautiful song, Let My Words Be Few performed by the Christian group Phillips, Craig & Dean. It was totally God-inspired. True to the title of the song, the lyrics are indeed simple and few. But that may be the best way to describe how we should feel and act when we come to pray and humble ourselves to our wonderful creator. He truly is our alpha and omega. It doesn't get any simpler than that. To Him, I stand in awe.

I made this for my one and only Lord, God. I love this church song and i try to sing it whenever I can. Bless all who do the same. Sing with me and praise our Lord.
He Reigns Lyrics:
It's the song of the redeemed,
rising from the African plain.
It's the song of the forgiven,
drowning out the Amazon rain.
The song of Asian believers,
filled with God's holy fire.
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation,
a love song born of a grateful choir.
It's all God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
It's all God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
Let it rise above the four winds,
caught up in the heavenly sound.
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals,
to the faithful gathered underground.
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation,
some were meant to persist.
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples,
none rings truer than this.
It's all God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
It's all God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
(REPEAT)
And all the powers of darkness
tremble at what they've just heard.
'Cause all the powers of darkness
can't drown out a single word.
When all God's children sing out
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
All God's children sing out
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
All God's people singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
All God's people singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
(REPEAT 2 TIMES)
All God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns, he reigns.
All God's children singing
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah
He reigns.
Thank You. (I Do Not Own This Song. I Only Own The Video "Footage".)

more
"The Wayfaring Stranger," also known as "Poor Wayfaring Stranger," is a traditional folk song of unknown origin. There are many and varied opinions as to its origin. Some of the theories include Appalachian Folk, Old Irish, and Catskills Folk. One theory is that it originates from the Negro Spirituals and there was a deliberate concealment of the songs origins. The lyrics of negro spirituals were tightly linked with the lives of their authors: slaves. While work songs dealt only with their daily life, spirituals were inspired by the message of Jesus Christ and his Good News (Gospel) of the Bible, "You can be saved". They are different from hymns and psalms, because they were a way of sharing the hard condition of being a slave.
Many slaves in town and in plantations tried to run to a "free country", that they called "my home" or "Sweet Canaan, the Promised Land". This country was on the Northern side of Ohio River, that they called "Jordan". Some negro spirituals refer to the Underground Railroad, an organization for helping slaves to run away.
