How Little, Lord

How little do I know of You, O God,
of Your Creation, what I know is small,
yet if I knew too much of You, how odd!
I often feel I don’t know You at all.

Enough for me to know what You reveal,
yet most about you still is mystery,
You tell me just enough to make You real,
though much of what You show I cannot see.

I know what You’re up to--You want my faith,
You want me for eternal life with You,
You aim to save me from eternal death,
You want me to believe Your word is true.

It matters not, O Lord, how much I know,
just so my faith grows and I let it show.
