Ecclesiastes 1.2,12-14; 2.18-23

We chase after wind, all in vain;
For toil under the sun,
Leaves us empty when done—
All is but a breath, bound by pain. -

Trust not in wealth, for life’s fleeting cheer. -

Their mercy displayed,
Till justice and mercy both stood tall. -

And His kindness brings,
Blessings flowing, dispelling all fear. -

With bread and a curve,
And welcomed them gladly, in kindness displayed. -

Martha and Mary, both in delight.
One served with great zeal,
The other’s heart to feel,
Choosing love’s gentle path through the night. -

The image of God, the faithful heart,
He reigns o’er all below,
In Him our hopes do grow,
To reconcile and make us a part.
