I

The things I have seen O God
I do not understand.
The things I have heard Lord on High
they are beyond me.
How can I with my aching head
take hold of what you have done?
How can my twisted tongue
speak  clearly of your great deeds?
Let your grace O King reach
even unto this stumbling thing
stretch you hand to I, a mere shadow of a shadow of your glory
and open my mind to your wonders.
How weary I am of my clumsy questing,
my questioning tongue that fails
even the simplest of queries
and leaves me searching in the ocean for a stone.
How feeble my efforts,
how weak my arms in reaching for you. 
The distance stretches beyond what I can fathom
double that and double again. 
How far you are O Lord above my understanding
how great beyond my grasp
leaving me as though blind and deaf
before the magnitude of your majesty. 
Even the things you have shown me
I do not understand
The things you have told me
I cannot comprehend
Teach me O Lord the beauty of your presence!

    a little rough at parts,
    but very lovely at others..
    I think they'll smooth out, the more you write.

    this is a fantastic idea, by the way, -this blog.
