To Know....You

Will man forever be hungry for the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
Will we ever hunger for the experience of Your presence,
The fruit you offer from the Tree of Life?

I don’t want to learn about You anymore,
I want to know You.
I want to encounter You.
Take me along the Damascus road,
Knock me off my high horse,
Blind me,
So that I may see the Light.

It’s knowledge that puffs up,
I want to be humbled by Your grace,
I never want to know too much,
That I can not see Your face.
