Everlasting
Everlasting!
Sitting by the riverside of the Hudson,
Gazing at the tender water, journeying to ocean.
Longing for its destination,
Like the stream of God's mercy and compassion,
Into souls and hearts of human
Pouring, pouring
Never stop - never end,
Everlasting!
Standing on the seashore by the Atlantic,
Watching the waves racing to the shore,
Like the waves of God's tender love,
Into the hearts of all his dispersed children,
Racing, rushing,
Never stop - never end
Everlasting!
Standing in the quiet night,
Peace of the above, feel I
On branches the winds confide,
The moon kissing away dull darkness,
The dews resting on humble grass,
Stars of heaven sparkling dress,
Calm and peace, and I,
A lowly son of sweet Lord Jesus Christ,
Pondering thousand and thousand years to come,
Many came and many gone,
Many died and many sprouted, but still
The graces - the blessings,
The mercy, the salvation
And the love of God,
Like water in ocean,
Like air on earth,
Here, for all,
Never die - never dry,
Never stop - never end,
Everlasting!
