“Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” (Psalm 90:2)
Let the drifting snowflake teach me
its blissful dance of joy:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Let the hibernating oak preach
the depth of its faith:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Let my soul shed its burdens
to join the chorus:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Let my heart be stilled of its racing
to hear the good news:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Come, young and old,
share the comfort:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Come, sisters and brothers,
live in the peace:
From everlasting to everlasting!
Here’s today contribution:
The sun is bright and the breeze is stiff as this resurrection day
breaks the Lenten pall giving us a glimpse of hope in our anticipation.
You shine from everlasting to everlasting.
You grace comes to heal our brokenness in spirit and relationships—
From everlasting to everlasting.
While our commitment, try as we may, ends up being unstable.
Your commitment to us lasts from everlasting to everlasting.
May your love and grace make us worthy in your sight
In spite of our brokenness and failures in the face of trying
Everlasting God, savior and guide to everlasting life in you. Amen
Thanks for sharing your prayer today, Joan!
Praise for:
the night sky – majestic, black velvet, studded with diamond pin points of light:
from everlasting to everlasting.
faithful story – to learn, to tell, to trust, to embody:
from everlasting to everlasting.
the song – from cracked human voices, heartfelt and joyful:
from everlasting to everlasting.
the love – the holding, the creating, the questions, the letting go:
from everlasting to everlasting.
Uplifting!
Time cannot hem you in
Eternal One
This both comforts me in intimate ways
and races beyond anything my mind can comprehend
Jesus Christ, Son of God
the same
yesterday, today, yes and forever
How stabilizing is this truth
in the midst of the day to day happenings in my life
Search as I do
for surety
in so many earthy places
You keep drawing me back
to You
my everlasting to everlasting God
I want to stay
“Stabilizing” — yes, amidst all that changes and quakes and distracts! I really like your choice of this word.
