We cannot see the Unknown
It looms, dark and large
But we are not alone
And God is in charge
***
***
What lies ahead?
We cannot tell
But with God at the lead
It will be well
***
***
The unknown persists
An unyielding sky
But mankind exists
Beneath God's watchful eye
***
***
My faith is scarce
Half a mustard seed
But God knows and cares
For every need
***
***
The Unknown presides
But one thing I know
God’s Presence abides
Wherever I go

Psalms 139
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain...
you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain...
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
