unwearied

you are not made weary
when you make the sun to rise
and set again at day’s end

you are not made weary
when you awake the seed to sprout
and water it until fruition

you are not made weary
when you stir the waves upon the seas
and still the streams from which we drink

you are not made weary
when you lift us up when we struggle in the mire
and set us firmly upon the foundation of your presence

you are not made weary
when you love us when we cannot love ourselves
and heal us when we consider the depth of our brokenness

you are not made weary
when you grace us with a mercy unmerited and free
and forgive us again and again and again

you are not made weary
when you see that our weariness is all consuming
and we can go no further

you are not made weary
when you strengthen us for today
and promise to strengthen us for tomorrow.

• Inspired by singer and songwriter Sandra McCracken during a workshop on the creative life at the 2025 Symposium on Worship in which she commented on how our God never grows weary.
