None by Man Created

Man cannot predict the weather,
Tools, models, and knowledge limited;
Life is but the lightest feather,
Sight can focus but vaguest images.

Air, sun, food, and water,
None of these by man created;
Grow the seasons colder or hotter,
Man to wait the winter is fated.

God o’er all! We sing your praises!
Sovereign, holding power and wisdom!
We, in our uncertain phases,
Bow to enter the eternal Kingdom!

Future Unknown

Future unknown, present uncertain,
Past obscured by faulty memories—
Events mow down our hopes and dreams—
O Sovereign God, come bear our burden!
