After the local school shooting (Seattle Pacific University) and seeing the kids faith-filled response; widely covered in the media across the world I thought of them while singing it.
And again think of those lyrics when reading this thread.
I have no problem thinking that for some reason it was beneficial for the earth to be the way it was before it was struck and the moon created. And obviously it is beneficial to have the moon. Life would probably not be here if the moon wasn't the proper size and distance from the earth. (Plus - we get really cool solar eclipses - which of course means the sun is the perfect size and distance too!)
That without the curse of evil we cannot have the blessings of good, that both are born of moral law, and that moral law necessitates a moral law Giver are reminders to us all that Mind formed the moon, the earth and the entire universe and this brings great comfort in the face of un-Godly bloodshed like the slaying of students with the assurance that the same Mind who brings his enemies to absolute justice will also bring his children to absolute peace.
