O God, what endures and what will be transformed?
The religious leaders conspired against Jesus,
but ultimately their schemes failed.
Even memorial stones aren't remembered forever.
If the things of this world will not endure,
why do we try to conform to them?
May our hearts be glad and may our souls rejoice,
may our bodies rest secure--in you we can
be transformed into what endures.
