The More Things Change - Thoughts on life in transition

The More Things Change

I am not who I once was

I've seen dreams planted like seeds

Grow into reality

Then fade into memory

I've traveled across the sea

Watched You make me

Into Your vessel of ministry

I've sat in the pit and wept

Until You set me free

I've watched friends love and leave

I've loved and left as well

And on this journey

I have seen everything change

And some days I see scars when I look in the mirror

On other days I see a woman of grace

Still others reveal a child full of fear

And things change

But the more things change

The more they stay the same

Because Your love remains unfailing
