Just a brief note on this song: I was inspired in part by reading Psalm 8 from the NABRE, as well as by reading the Holy Father's address to the Cor Unum group at the time of the release of the encyclical "Deus Caritas Est":
“The cosmic excursion in which Dante, in his “Divine Comedy”, wishes to involve the reader, ends in front of the perennial Light that is God himself, before that Light which is at the same time “the love that moves the sun and the other stars” (Par. XXXIII, v. 145). Light and love are one and the same. They are the primordial creative powers that move the universe.” – Pope Benedict XVI
This song is a meditation on the inifinite grandeur of God, but at the same time reflects on the overwhelming realization that God, who is love, longs to have a personal relationship with us, while maintaining his omnipotence...
