Let me rest amongst the stars
Thread a needle by their light
Weave a garment of such wonder
with the beauties of the night
Let the pattern show each treasure
I have held within my hand
Let each stitch knit me a platform
Upon which my hopes will stand
Let the weaving show who I am
Is who I’m meant to be
Let it show my creator
Gave me life to set me free
Let my dreams be like a garment
Wrapped around this mortal frame
Let my heart enjoy redemption
For to not would be a shame
Let me rest amongst the stars
Thread a needle with God’s Grace
Weave a netting strong to catch us
Making whole this human race
If this be my wish most truly
For a doubting world to see
God exists and lives in mankind
It will be seen in you and me
Stitch by stitch joined together
Each one perfect each one neat
We shall gaze hearts interwoven
When the Tapestry is complete
