And the Spirit said unto me: Behold, what desirest thou? And I said: I desire to behold the things which my father saw.
How much desire do I have for knowledge, clear and sharp?
It seems I’d rather speculate while strumming on a harp.
I sacrifice so little time in scripture study -- thus
Indicating to the Lord I will not make a fuss
If He revokes his mysteries from my lethargic gaze,
And gives me up to ignorance until I mend my ways.
For when I have the scriptures opened to the word sublime,
I have to dawdle shamelessly in making up this rhyme!
