SPECK IN THE FLOW OF TIME
SPECK IN THE FLOW OF TIME
A speck in the flow of time
A moment and we are Gone
Just a whisper of a poet's rhyme
Like a dream forgotten at dawn
Wonder at the shortness of life
As this world sets itself afire
So much anger and strife
Bitter is the fruit of sin’s desire
And we burn in our moment
A flash of time across the night
We think everything is an omen
Still nothing seems right
Be still, says the Lord
Be still knowing I am God
Take joy in the moments stored
Instead of living a facade
We're a speck in time
We worship time's King
And in this poet's rhyme
I will Give Him everything
In the moments we are given
We can be still, or washed away
In His Hand we are living
Be still and stay
AMEN
About this poem
Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields[a] with fire. 10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalms 46:8-11
