It is sheer folly to think we know what God holds deep within His heart and mind

Our creator, all knowing, all powerful, ever present, who overshadows even time

We the finite have the audacity to criticize God and point out flaws in His design

Lauding our wisdom over His which could open our spiritual eyes that are blind

There is none but Jesus who walked this earth that will ever truly know His ways

We live in a temporal reality where God has numbered our hairs as well as our days

Logic will not save us because it is but the servant of reason whose dictates it obeys

Leading us down the primrose path where the devil patiently in deadly ambush lays

God is not in the business of explaining all to us that's why faith is the bottom line

To trust in Him as Job learned is the only surety of true peace for all mankind

Thus allowing God to bypass our intellects and graft us into Jesus, the living vine

Who has been made unto to us wisdom, the true source of answers we yearn to find

In this modern world we've let this kind of real knowledge and wisdom slip away

No institute of higher learning can teach it to you no matter how much you pay

It's a gift from Jesus for which you need to thank Him and for it's revelation pray

Perhaps, it simply starts by admitting to God we don't know, those words we hate to say

We fear letting go, giving up control  if you will, even shuttering to put it in God's hand

Thus preferring to resolve the question with answers based on the faulty wisdom of man

Building on foundation of human experience, just about as reliable as dry shifting sand

When we could have simply asked God and He would have given us a new set of plans

Sometimes God's purpose is to conceal more of Himself than He is wiling to reveal

His deepest mysteries remain unfathomed to this very day on which He has placed a seal

Hidden blueprints of creation in everything for which scientists seek with great zeal

Even our doctors can only operate on us but it only God that has designed a body that heals

Many questions seldom directed to God who is the sole repository of the knowledge of things

Maybe how He hung the stars in the sky or perhaps how He layered feathers on an angel's wings

We certainly have more answers if we acknowledge Jesus alone as the undisputed King of Kings

Or we'll continue to wrestle with worldly temporal answers that come to often with hidden strings!
