This was amazing! What a wonderful combination to have this incredible aerial team matched with the Orchestra of Southern Utah. I would love to see this become a regular tradition. My whole family was in awe!

When I Consider the Heavens by Alex Byers

Lyrics, with quotes from Psalms

When I consider thy heavens; When I consider the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Be merciful unto me, oh God, For there be many that fight against me, oh God, oh God. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust, I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Great is our Lord, and of great power His understanding is infinite. He telleth the number of the stars: He calleth them all by their names. He healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Thy mercy O Lord, is in the heavens: and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains: thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
