Always


Always
Written by Brooklyne

Same hope that will anchor 
Steadfast and sure 
Ready to conquer 
Still the same, always

Same love that never fails
Patient and kind
Its presence prevails 
Still the same, always

Same care that will comfort
Never leaving 
Helping our efforts 
Still the same, always

Same peace that surpasses 
Quiet, calm, still
While the storm passes
Still the same, always 

Same glory that is shown 
Its bright beauty 
We have all known
Still the same, always

Same grace that is given
To all who ask 
They are forgiven 
Still the same, always

Same faith that moves mountains 
Trusting and bold
Come to His fountain 
Still the same, always 

Same strength that is able
To lift us up
He's reliable 
Still the same, always 

Same truth that it's telling
In the Bible 
Stories compelling 
Still the same, always

Hebrews 13:8
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever." 

James 1:17
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation 
or shadow of turning."

Jesus never changes and His love for us never changes, it is still the same, always.

  1. Yes! He’s the same forever, always. That’s a comforting thought in a world of ever-changing things.
    One of my favorite things about God? Probably His faithful love. He is always faithful and He keeps pouring out His love. I’ve been reading through the Psalms and a phrase repeated so often is “faithful love”.
    I like poetry. It’s such a beautiful way to express things.
    Great poem, Brooklyne! And great post :).

  6. Thank you, Faith!
    Yes, so the song Still the Same by Sugarland came on one day as I was listening to pandora. When it said in the chorus "Our love is still the same, still the same, still the same." My mind changed it to His (Gods) love is still the same, still the same, still the same.
    Because Gods love for us never changes, it is everlasting!
    So that is the song this poem, Always, stemmed from. :-)
    Thanks for commenting!

  9. Such a beautiful poem! <3 Ah yes, it's so wonderful to know that our loving Heavenly Father is the same ALWAYS! His love for us will never change, ever! I think that is one of my favorite things about God, that his love and passion for us never changes -- no matter what we do or what we say -- He'll love us ALWAYS!! :D

    I get inspiration for poems and stories just about everywhere I think. Sometimes just from something someone says, a picture, or like you said, from a certain song. :)

    I love your blog here! Thanks so much for checking out my blog as well. <3 God bless!
