A Tenth of God

I think I know a tenth or so of God,
yet how much is that of infinity?
Just even one percent--that would be odd,
what’s one per cent of total mystery?

That’s why in Scripture’s lines Himself He shows,
He wants a part--a tenth?--to be revealed,
He can’t be too mysterious, He knows,
what good’s a God Who is too much concealed?

Our God-man Christ gave us a hundred per cent,
He left His infinitely happy home above,
His life, His death, all that He had He spent,
what more is there to know than such great love?

To me, O God, You need not prove or show
more than Your total love I already know.
