“For this time will pass” A poem by Rev. Diane Smith

We know you Lord,

Lord of every changing season who in a world of chaos gives us rhyme and gives us reason.

We know you Lord,

Lord of every heartfelt Prayer, in community and in isolation may we look and find you there.

We know you Lord,

Lord who calms the storm, in this time of change and challenge may new patterns of Ministry be born.

For you are the God of untold beauty and the God of boundless grace. 

Help us in our hour of need to look and see your face.

Upon seeing and reflecting, drinking deeply and  drinking long,

May our voices ever praise you in a thankful song.

A song for this and every nation and a song that beckons all creation.

A song that proclaims Gods salvation,

For this time will pass.
