Shining Perspective

When the sink is full of dishes, when the socks are by the door

When there’s pee on the rug, and even more on the floor

God doesn’t change.

When there’s laundry to be done, but the soap’s all gone

When the quarters are few and the toilet paper’s through

God doesn’t change.

When the bills are piling up and you don’t know what to do

When you don’t pass the test and you really need some rest

God doesn’t change.

When you can’t keep up the fight and you’ve lost all your might

When you courageously prevail or when you give up and you fail

God doesn’t change.

When the TV is on, but the picture is gone

When you want to sing a song and you keep doing it wrong

God doesn’t change.

When you’re heart is full of praise but you still need a raise

When you can’t sleep and your heart can barely beat

God doesn’t change.

When you try, when you cry, when you lie and when you die

When you just keep asking: Why? Why? Why?

God doesn’t change.

When you want to throw a fit, when you take a hard hit

When you swing and you miss

God doesn’t change.

When you’re happy, when you’re sad, when you’re glad, when you’re bad

When you think you’re just plain RAD, when you’ve lost all that you had

God doesn’t change.

When your heart is full of pride, when there’s too much pain to hide

When you end up on the wrong side, when you need to be crucified

God doesn’t change.

When you run out of words, when all things seem absurd

When you’re confused and misunderstood, and you’d claim a “do-over” if you could

God doesn’t change.

When life gets too crazy and you’re blind with unbelief

There’s a promise to claim, it’s be given to you and me, I can hear it whispered and it brings me peace

God doesn’t change.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” ~Hebrews 13:8
