All On Us




Always, all on us, 

Our bold, impatient pain, 

Our consequence and struggle, 

The lightening, wind and rain.


Always, all on us, 

The storm will do its task. 

What can be shaken shakes 

To show us what will last.

 

Always, all on us 

This too, has come to pass; 

The stones of blame will crumble 

To sand we cannot grasp.

 

Always, all on us 

Rebuilding day to day 

With chaff and sand and rubble 

What’s never meant to stay.


Always, all on us 

The sun and seasons turn. 

The process must repeat 

The things we must relearn. 

 

Always, all on us, 

Your grace and strength and plan, 

Your ever-present help 

Alike with your demands. 

 

Always, all on us,

All things go as they should. 

Complete, your vison rests, 

Eternal, perfect, good.
