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?
