My rhyming fits don't produce the sublime poetry of William Cowper, but such as I have, I post. I wrote this today, which means it may still be subject to change, but since it went through many revisions, I am hoping it is done. God Remains the Same Life’s changing scenes make their appeal To my poor, fickle frame, And often change the way I feel, But God remains the same. When circumstances fluctuate, My hopes may rise or fall, But God, unhindered by my state, Is always over all. Though hopes and fears by turns arise To steal my heart away, The truth, without such lows and highs, Abides from day to day. Though prayer may change a lot of things, If God in mercy grant, Despite their fancy reasonings, My fickle feelings can’t. Unaltered by what I may sense, All things are in His hands, And by unflinching providence The final outcome stands. |
