Castles in the Sky

There were castles in the sky tonight
The clouds, the sunset, the colors
One of those moments when reality becomes surreal
When all you are touching becomes fake
Because you have found something more
A fantasy legend opens before you
A myth to some, but more real than sunshine
More bright than fields of snow
And more dark than the belly of the earth

What moment could compare?
What satisfaction could sustain me?
What hope is there left when desire drops away
And purpose consumes?

My Savior lives! His Glory abounds!
His countenance stirs the heavens
And His voice calls my name.
Splendor He gives to me,
And touches my face with song.

Did you see the sky tonight?
Did you see its light drain?
Did you watch the castles fade,
then see the sunlight from the other side
of the blanket of night?
Have you seen the stars turn to jewels
as the light fades away?
Have you seen my Savior?
And stirred His heart today?
