I AM STILL BEFORE YOU

(Psalm 46:10)

The nights passes into day
passes into night.
Plants grow wild, get
trimmed, fight back,
growing endlessly,
and I .....
I am still before You

Children grow into adults,
who have children who
grow up before the eyes
of their grandparents - in
the clutches of life and death.
and I .....
I am still before You

Compassion and love
turn into hate and anger,
turn into wars, pain and
tears, cry out for peace.
This endless cycle,
and yet I ......
I am still before You

Here enfolded in your Mercy,
safe and warm in endless Love.
Quenching my thirst, my
hunger, my longing, fed
by Your all-surrounding Grace,
here I am ......
I am still before You

You turn my night into day,
teach me never to stop growing,
from my childhood to my
passing,in times of war
and times of peace,
You are always here, and
I am still before You

("Be still and know, that I am God")
