God keeps us in the dark to curb our pride.
What if we knew the workings of our soul,
or knew the day and hour and way we died,
or could put everything in our control?
We'd be like God, or we would think we were,
and how much better off would we then be?
God doles His truth out in a kind of blur,
so there will always be some mystery.
Does not our perfect God know what is best?
We need some dark so there's not so much light,
we do not need to fathom all the rest,
God tells enough so we know wrong from right.
O Lord, I leave to You what You release,
I'll take what You give me and be at peace.
