What I Know

Knowledge none,
Understanding cease,
Clouds before mine eyes,
Wool to my ears.
My mind, my heart,
On things on earth,
I long to fly,
And long to seek,
Things of God.
Reveal to me,
Open my heart to see.
Grant me wisdom,
Discernment for the mind.
Your word has hidden,
Let reveal,
The mysteries and peace;
All that I am is naught,
Of dust I am and will be,
Undiscerning, undeserving.
Heavenly wisdom locked away,
Far from me the fool.
Undeserving, undiscerning,
All I am is not enough,
To know You more;
Surpassing knowledge,
That I have not,
Unknowable, Noncomprehendable,
You to me O, humble me.
Clothed with beauty great,
Unapproachable, untouchable,
Unknowable.
Chosen me by You.
Hear my cry,
Hear my prayer,
To know You.
