Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
Like a breath of mountain rain
Like birdsong in the trees
Like the phases of the moon
And waves upon the sea
There will be change.
Like thunder's muffled booming
Like a softly sinking sun
Like prairie grasses swaying
And my daughter's morning hugs
There will be change.
Like fresh-ground coffee brewing
Like someone lullabying
Like spreading rings of water
And a single eagle flying
There will be change
Like a seedling in good soil
Like a wise and ready bride
Like the shining of a lantern
And the pruning of a vine
There will be change
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone,
The new is here!
There will be change

How refreshing this is. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI always think of the passage from Isaiah - Come, all you who are thirsty... - and the poem really came from that idea. That passage refreshes me; I'm glad it came through in the poem this morning. Your comment means a lot to me; thanks for visiting.
DeleteMy favorite kind of change is the kind that Jesus provides. Great post!

Thank you, LeeAnn. I don't go to rhyming poetry often, but this morning I felt obligated to change things up :) I appreciate your encouraging words.
