We Have Sinned and Grown Old

Scripture

Lamentations 5:15–16 (NIV)

Joy is gone from our hearts;

our dancing has turned to mourning.

The crown has fallen from our head.

Woe to us, for we have sinned!

Refrain

God has never grown tired of making the world.

Quote

G.K. Chesterton, from Orthodoxy

"But perhaps God is strong enough

to exult in monotony.

It is possible that God says every morning,

'Do it again' to the sun;

and every evening, 'Do it again' to the moon.

It may not be automatic necessity

that makes all daisies alike;

it may be that God makes every daisy separately,

but has never got tired of making them.

It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy;

for we have sinned and grown old,

and our Father is younger than we."
