You live beyond our times Lord
You've always been here and always will be.
People come and go
like grass that
springs up after the rain
and withers in the summer heat.
But you O Lord are forever
You are the old gumtree
that stands majestically by the river
watching the years come and go.
You O Lord establish Kingdoms
and you pull them down
Empires, superpowers
monarchies, republics, juntas-
they are all nothing to you.
David's throne endures for ever
The people of Israel last for ever.
The church, the people of God, are for ever.
You invite us unto your eternity
Lord, let us be kingdom people.
