Beginning
by Roger Montgomery ã
As we go through life
As part of our life seems ending
As the pages close on one part
A new part is just beginning.
As we go through the week
We look forward to its ending
As the sun sets on one week
A new one is just beginning.
How can we know the times
With all the messages life is sending
How can we be sure
Whether it’s a beginning or ending
We come screaming into life
Unsure as our world is now ending
But now we will have room to grow
The ending is really the beginning.
We felt safe in our mother’s womb
Our security is finally ending
As we are pushed into this life
Our new life is just beginning.
We reach school age
Our playhouse is suddenly ending
We leave the safety of our home
A school year is beginning.
As we go into summer
The school year is ending
We are happy and sad as we know
The summer is just beginning.
As we are pushed along by time
A summer is just ending
As we say hello to the fall
A school year is just beginning.
Friendships seem never ending
Our friends are so important
As new friendships are beginning.
We thought this would be our life forever
We see the future with our friends while intending
For them to be with us forever
But friendships will soon be ending.
Friendships we thought would last forever
With a sudden jolt they are ending
Graduation has come and gone
Adult life is just beginning.
Off to college or to new jobs
Into our lives everything is blending
But changes are as natural as time
We have a beginning and an ending.
We will live this way forever
But then comes the ending
We work toward that day
Suddenly we are descending.
We go our separate ways
No borrowing time, no lending
We don’t know how much we have
Until a new beginning or an ending.
As friendships come and go
As one seems to be ending
As we say goodbye and let go
A new friendship is beginning.
We go through life
Change seems never ending
But as we let go of one part
A new one is just beginning.
A love goes wrong
Marriages are suddenly ending
Is there a reason to go on
But God allows new beginnings.
Night has come, but it will go
Sometimes it seems never ending
But there will be a day break
A new day is just beginning.
Enjoy the day that you have
A gift from God He is sending
No other one will ever be the same
Is your future just beginning?
We help make heaven or hell
Are we flexible or never bending
Can we learn while there’s still time
Each day is a new beginning.
Soon our names will be set in stone
Our future will seem impending
We will leave this world
It will be a new beginning.
What are we counting on
On what are we depending
Can we ever be the same
Will we have a new beginning?
Things so important today
Things we are attending
Will mean nothing very soon
Replaced by a new beginning.
Today we can change things
The things which we are tending
God, please open our eyes
Show us our new beginnings.
Grief sometimes fills our hearts
Pain seems never ending
Why does time move so slow
We need a new beginning.
Time will carry us along
Though pain and misery it may be sending
Until it is swallowed up by eternity
Where there be a new beginning.
Everything will be decided soon
Will we be in good standing
Will we have made the best of life
And the best of new beginnings?
Time may be our friend or enemy
We may or may not be in good standing
It depends on how we have treated time
Whether as an ending or a new beginning.
Sometimes we are glad to see it come
Sometimes we are glad it’s ending
God, I want more or I want less
Make it last or make it ending.
Time can go by so fast
Or so slow, it’s all depending
On how we used it and how we feel
Do we desire a new beginning?
I can see how people uses time
Should I be a judge or even pretending
I can not grasp or let it go without wondering
Is this a beginning or an ending?
The clock has started, don’t you see
Seconds, hours, days, years are all blending
You are in a race with the clock of time
Being forced into a new beginning.
Time will peak for a while
The future will not seem so impending
But we will be forced by time
To face a new beginning.
Time will keep pushing us
It is never bending
It will be with us for a while
At our beginning and ending.
Time too will be swallowed up
While laughing it is just pretending
It will also be swallowed by eternity
It also had a beginning, it will have an ending.
Are you going to stay or are you going
Are you sitting or are you standing
Are you smiling or frowning or contemplating
A new beginning or an ending?
As we go into life, we are forced by time
Toward another world kicking and screaming
Hope the destination is to your liking
An ending will be a new beginning.
Some have made their peace
As they see their life descending
They know where they are going
Toward the ending and a new beginning.
The baby was crowded in the womb
It’s temporary world was ending
When it outgrew it’s small world
There was a new world for a new beginning.
God gives us time to get prepared
We are limited in this world that’s ending
We will be so much greater in the next life
There’s room for a new beginning.
Will we make our Peace with God
And accept the message He is sending
I Am Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and the Ending.
