I sing a song called She Looks To The Sky from the album by the same name, and it was inspired by a specific piece of writing- an essay written in the 1700s called- Apostrophe to Sarah Pierrepont.
Jonathan Edwards wrote it in admiration of his fiancé’s relationship with God and it was found written on the cover of his college Greek notebook. His mind wandered while he had much studying to do. I like this about him, but mostly, I’m intrigued by what he witnessed between Sarah and the Great Being she loved so.
First, here’s a bit of the song:
-SHE LOOKS TO THE SKY LYRICS-
They say she is loved by the greatest of all
Who have walked in the world
He lives far away, still she spends all her days
Content with only His words
She often walks alone, but never is she lonely
You can offer her anything
Her affections are all for Him only
She looks to the sky
As if He is coming down through the clouds up above
Though no one has seen Him you cannot deny
She is drenched with His love
She often walks alone, but never is she lonely
You can offer her anything
Her affections are all for Him only
All the day long she sings sweetly
She says He speaks to her mind
She’s only rich with affliction
Yet a bitter word you won’t find
She lives with assurance He loves her too deeply
To let such distance remain
She’s brimming with longing for Him to come calling
And sweep her away
