Wisdom from the Wise
Eccl. 1:1-11 Psalm 127
There is nothing new under the sun
For all was created when time first begun
But some men try and appear to succeed
To build a house to suit their need
People live and people die and water flows to the sea
The sun rises and sets and the wind blows back to me
And without our God to guide their hands
A building rises and useless stands
We look and look but do not see enough
Of things looking new made of the same old stuff
And to buy this gear we work all year
Without ever satisfaction to declare
And from the past we never learn
A hot stone from the fire will burn
Five children makes a quiver fill
While the Lord gives sleep to keep us still.
