His Word Stands Forever

 

The empty voices of the world
Cry out, then fade away.
For, without substance of their own,
They hold no force or sway.
 
The winds sweep through, destroying all
Within their path and yet,
The trees regrow, the rivers flow,
And the earth will forget.
 
The empty voices, like the winds,
May bluster in their wrath,
But they will not deter God’s Word
Or move it from its path.
 
The grass will wither, as will they
Who claim God’s role and name.
While those who stand within His Word,
Eternal life may claim.
 
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
