The Melodious

When Will I Understand?

There are no answers for those who do not seek
There are no treasures for those who sleep
Why does the wind blow in the desert?
Why does the moon glow in the darkness?
The birds don’t worry, the spider has no fear
The snake has no legs and the locust has no king
When will I understand?
 
The Way in not in your head, the Truth is not in a book
And Life is not in a breath
 
For His sake I glory in my weakness, rejoicing in my sacrifice
And giving thanks for my suffering
In His infinite wisdom, the foolish things of this world
Confound the wise. When will I understand?
 
When I stand before His seat of judgement
Prostrate, in the dust that formed me
The only good in me, what He did through me
When will I understand?
