Thy words were discovered and these did I eat;
Their flavor, as honey, was rich, pure, and sweet.
The rejoicing and joy of my heart they became
For, by them, I , through faith, am now called by thy name.
They told of the holy, omnipotent one,
The great triune God: Spirit, Father, and Son;
Whose eyes have a pureness that scarce can be told
So he who sees all cannot evil behold.
But then I read on and found hidden within
A man who was filthy and covered in sin.
Offended, I put them away on a shelf-
For he whom they told of was clearly myself.
Despite this, God to me his Spirit did give-
The Father, ere time, had decreed I should live.
And having this life, only then could I cry,
"My Jesus, please cleanse me or surely I die!"
And when I consider my sins are no more,
I find that my being is drawn to adore
The Lord for the matchless forgiveness he's wrought.
Unspeakable mystery- omniscience forgot.
