Time's Eye

Time's eye shines On things that last, The things that fade "All flesh is grass", Traditions come Their magic goes, "Cool" comes fast Then fades slow, Soap box trendies Preach their thing, Last as long As a piece of string. Time's eye shines On things that last, The good, the bad The gold, the chaff, Man's evil acts Beyond his grave, Will ripple on  Beyond his gaze, But time's eye shines What's proven clever God's word and acts Will stand forever. The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:6-8 NKJV)
