Have you ever stopped to think <br />Taken one thought about the Lord; <br />Or considered this Earth you stand upon <br />Did you ever read in God's Word? <br /> <br />That there are three heavens; <br />The first contains the air <br />The second holds the whirling shperes <br />The third? well God dwells there. <br /> <br />In the first there are the clouds <br />The winds that blow, the rain <br />Where birds fly on a summers day <br />And sing their sweet refrain. <br /> <br />In the second there is the sun <br />The moon and stars at night <br />This heaven bears the spinning orbs; <br />Appoints their path of flight. <br /> <br />In the third God does dwell <br />Above all time and space; <br />Who controls all things by his great hand <br />And sustains all by his grace. <br /> <br />2 Corinthians 12: 1-5<br /><br />Richard Merrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-heavens/
