Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Always the Same -Ecclesiastes 1: 4

The cycles of life goes on and on
every twenty-four hours round it goes
generations pass both old and young
the winds of change forever it flows

But in all these changing scenes of life
the earth is forever always to be forever
this is God's great creation on display
showing the work of the eternal one so clever

God has put eternity in his world
broadening its horizons far and wide
so much been discovered in man's small mind
but God knows all things from the other side

This earth is planted with seeds aplenty
for sowing plants and flowers of many a kind
but it all stems from God's design
his pen marks show where he signed

So this old earth's always the same
till one day God will wrap it all up
then man and earth will be no more
for then eternity will drink its full cup

('A generation goes, and a generation comes,
   but the earth remains forever.')
Ecclesiastes 1: 4 (ESV)
