Journey to the edge of the universe

Our dear pastor showed us a wonderful video
Called "Journey to the edge of the universe"
"If we started travelling on January the first
The speed of light is 86,000 miles per hour
It takes 5 hours and 31 minutes to travel past Pluto
3 & a half billion miles to the outer limits of our solar system
It would still be January the first when we got there!
Travelling perpendicular into the emptiness of space
For a year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years!
We would reach Alpha Centauri on April 19 of year 5
25,000 miles: 10 light years from the sun
100 light years to the Milky Way
1000 light & years the galaxies have arms & discs
100,000 light years & they are more defined
Entire spiral shape of the Milky Way galaxy is recognisable
The Milky way is a part of a cluster of 30 galaxies
50 million light years & we reach the Virgo cluster
There are more than 2,000 galaxies: further & further out
A billion years, 5 billion years, 10 billion years
We would observe the theoretical view of the universe
Masses of galaxies separated by empty space
The power if its creator must truly surpass human understanding!"

So if we puny humans strive to go beyond our space
How big is God? Big enough to guide the mighty universe
Yet small enough to live with-in my heart!

All this power He gave up to save us from our sins!
What a wonderful loving Father we have!
He took upon himself the body of a man & came
Down from all this majestic universe
Just to save me! Just to save you! Just to save us!
