I Know Thee by Thy Name

I have travelled far and wide, yet never met thee;
journeys have been shared; Your presence ever with me;
I have read much about Thee questioning at every life’s page do’est turn;
scholars have written about Thee; the ages taught eminently;
but I remain so uneducated in what is truth for mere humanity;
what was written seems mythical, seems unreal, apocryphal lectern.

They speak of You as a shepherd, a good one we have always known,
and they say we belong to You; we are Your sheep from the flock flown;
we destroy and we desecrate God’s creation in all we reside;
our grace, our faith, our gratitude, fail to grow in Your true home;
perhaps You are never truly where we think You perform;
perhaps You are merely the myth and not my desire.

---

As I believe in God, I believe in the love that You doth bring
the love that God graces us with freely, of Thee we sing;
the myth of Your life is that you know the Father’s dove
that this is true for all of us. The meaning being
yet we do not learn to cease looking for a king;
I know thee by Your name; Your name is Love.

P.S. I Love You. And I pray you love others.
Love is God’s symphony, the perfect beauty!
