Change

All that I am and all that I’ll be

Will differ today till eternity

This world and this life will not see me the same

One moment from now, little does remain

My fear and my doubt, my faithlessness strong

Perseveres from moment to next moment long

But still there is little to no guarantee

Of any ambition. Of any dream

Each time I am moved, by something I’ve learned

The pain that it takes for my soul to be stirred

Does it count for nothing? For what have I gained

If this does not last, if again I’ll be changed

The truth may so impact my viewpoint on life

Perspective, this lesson from God through my strife

A week and this lesson no longer in mind

I will have moved on, no longer entwined

Enraptured no more by that which I have seen

Does God’s truth mean nothing? What is left to glean?

What point is in learning, regeneration?

If heart moved no longer- what then have you done?

Your change, it is good, how You make me new

But how to remember things that You do?

To write them and preach them and use them my best

Your truth is Your purpose, a moment, a zest

Though one day is strong and does change me for good

And change once again each moment as it should

Nothing You do is worth nothing I know

So praise I will give, for each moment You sow

Stir up in me a new song of Your praise

Every moment, each day, though pain is Your braise

Your good is my joy, my impression today!

God teaches me new things by means of breaking down and building up- but the things that I learn will never mean as much as the moment they impact me. But there is value in every move of my heart, I should praise God, the unchanging one, for being the changer of things in my life. It is His presence in me that works even when I am not working with Him. Praise God!
