Turning God's Stones

With You I want to leave no stone unturned
to know You, love You, praise You in a poem,
to leave no part, O Lord, of You unlearned,
so all of You will find in me a home.

How can I know even a part of You,
unless to me Yourself You first reveal?
How can I know if anything is true
about You or’s just something that I feel?

I see You some in nature, Scripture, Church,
inside myself, in people who are near,
there’s so much more of You I need to search,
like open up my heart right now, right here.

Let me, God, leave no inspiration spurned,
so I’ll leave not one stone of You unturned.
