The hand of God

What hand set our blue world spinning on it's tilted axis?
And made the moon in such a way,
 that it would eclipse and show a jewel by day?
Of my endeavours I cannot compare a single task,
 and is it true that same hand did fashion me a mind to ask?
After years revolve,
 when like me these questions fade, and I am old,
 will that same hand in death I hold?
