God's thoughts and His ways are SO much higher than ours that when He 'throws things around', it is done with absolute perfection.
I am a songwriter dedicated to spreading the good news about the love and mercy of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Story behind the song
My friend Scott sent me an interesting piece of music with a title, "Star Thrower". I liked the music but I wasn't thrilled about the title. It is a song about God, so the implication of "thrower" seemed careless, arbitrary at best. I kept thinking about the scripture that describes God "placing" each star with His fingers.
The song languished on my computer for weeks. One night, Scott asked about my progress and I expressed my aversion to the word "thrower" in this application. He explained his choice of the title this way:
God's thoughts and His ways are SO much higher than ours that when He "throws things around", it is done with absolute perfection.
Ooooooooooooh...

Words and Music by Hank Stansfield / Music by Scott Gemeinhardt
You threw the stars into balance
Burning out their lives
Shining as signposts we use to move through this tiny world
You spoke creation and freedom
Carving out Your words
Shining as signposts You use to point to Your one shining Son
