Timeless

Time, it’s changing me,
It’s hard to see who I am.
Touched, I’m touched by many things
So many things I don’t understand,
But seasons pass and I discover,
Above all this there’s another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless.
So the autumn can color me gold
And the winter can dress me in snow,
But it’s You I see, the timeless part of me.
In the springtime I’m young once again.
In the summer I dance on the wind,
But it’s You I see,
The timeless part of me.
Change, whether it’s good or bad,
You know I’m glad
You’re in control.
Oh Lord, if I don’t understand,
I know Your hand will shield my soul.
Seasons pass and I discover,
Above all this there’s another,
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless.
So the autumn can color me gold,
And the winter can cover me in snow,
But it’s you I see,
The timeless part of me.
In the springtime I’m young once again
In the summer I dance on the wind,
But it’s You I see,
The timeless part of me. (Levi Kreis)

Hello Larry,
I looked at this blog of yours just to check whether there is any post and suprisingly, there is! :-) I'll comment on it later, OK? Best regards. Petra

So, I am here at last... But to tell you the truth, I am quite glad that I haven't written my comment yet because from time to time I ponder over these words. They are lyrics of a song, aren't they? You know, I find it quite difficult to express who or what is that God I believe in. God equals love, understanding, mercy, etc, but it all sounds like cheap phrases... And here, there is a beautiful expression: the timeless part of me. Again, it's only a piece of the whole but it sounds great. God is the timeless part of me...

"God is the timeless part of me"

You are absolutely right, and that is exactly what the writer of this song is saying.
Thanks Petra :-)
