Understanding God

February 15, 2016

We try to put Him in a box

We look at all the verses in all the books

And try to fully describe him in one sentence

We create images to know how he looks

And shy away from confusing things that make us tense

We jump to conclusions about who he is

Without taking the time to fully understand

And to know God and all that is his

Knowing his nature and the work of his hand

Desire to see every part of the story

I want to know and pursue and find the whole meaning

Desire for love and the unfolding mystery

Onto every piece of the puzzle I cling

I don't want to settle for the lesser things

I want to know all of the best

The things that are not offered by earthly kings

Then I will find peace in which there is rest

My soul will know meaning and wander no more

For it has found God, all of life's meaning

It finds the peace it never had before

In the one and only king

That can make life complete

But cannot be understood by us completely
