All things are passing by

This is a poem that I wrote some time ago.

All things are passing by

There is a season for all things, 
a time and purpose too 

for God has fashioned every day 

that we must travel through

There is a season to be strong

a season to be weak

a time to give opinion

and a time we should not speak

And whether things be good or bad

all things are passing by

for this world is a testing place

to perfect both you and I

So do not worry if some days

all things do not go right

Just be yourself - maintain your ways

be honest in God's sight

And if today you need more strength

or patience to endure

just call upon the Saviour's name

His counselling is pure

'Tis He alone Who understands

the 'wherefores' and the 'whys'

and nothing in this world of 'man'

is hidden from His eyes

So seek instruction from the One

Who watches from above

for every Word that comes from Him

is blessed with grace and love

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, 

keeping watch on the evil and the good.

Proverbs ch. 15 v. 3
