God's Changes

O God of longest night and longest day,
God of the winter cold and summer heat,
what do Your several seasons have to say,
when discontents and pleasures are so fleet?

Unchanging God, Who made our changing worlds,
God of it all, the simple and the deep,
as good or evil change around us swirls,
show us the changeless values we must keep.

Heaven and hell aren’t going anywhere,
the in-the-dark deniers are most afraid,
Your gifts of grace and faith are always there,
in our short lives the galaxies won’t degrade.

To change my settled ways to Yours seems tough,
but You, Lord, offer grace and faith enough.
