As a Christian Business, it is meaningful to hear how our guests connect with God through their visit to DeSoto Caverns. The following blog is a beautiful musing by an anonymous guest writer about their experience contemplating the unique setting of our caverns and how it connected them to the Ancient of Days. They also sent us the link to a song that mirrored the worshipful thought space they experienced while walking through the carved caverns. We have included a link and credit to the author of that song below.
Ancient of Days
When you are inside a cave, time stops. Or at least it seems to. The sun does not move across the sky, shadows do not shorten or lengthen, the temperature does not fluctuate, and the sunny, stormy, or snowy weather you left when you entered the cave does not follow you. Without a watch, you have no way to measure the moments. And it stays that way for how ever long you are underground. It is only when you step back outside that you notice the day has progressed, the sun has moved on, and it’s time to continue your day. You have left the constant and stepped back into the contemporary.
And that’s about as close as I can come to understanding what it’s like to be both anchored in time and yet exist, for a little while, outside of it. And it’s here where my thoughts center on the Ancient of Days, the One who lives outside of time for all eternity, and yet broke through to walk and live within the boundaries of time for a brief thirty-three years. And in doing so, changed the meaning of time for us all.
Ancient of Days (Acoustic) Shane and Shane
God, age to age You are the same.
You are the only constant in our lives.
You are the same, yesterday today and forever.
You are the living enduring King.
