Where can I find the knowledge
To live a life that is full
The answers are not easy
I need real wisdom
What are my questions
They are formed in quietness
I listen for them
Nature speaks to me
The birds, trees and animals
Speak of higher love
This knowledge makes me bow down
I am in awe of this world
Nature has order
It is not so with mankind
What is the problem
A basic question answered
This one I have studied well
Discipline and honesty
I have sought to know what’s true
My responsibility
To search and find where is peace
I have been surprised by joy
Jesus Christ has made God known
Compassion and gentleness
To the broken and lonely
His love was revealed
The truth just tastes good
When you hear it you know it
It has a clear ring
It meets all the tests
Bigger than circumstances
Much larger than death
It must be worth dying for
The ones important to me
My standard is high
This truth will enhance each life
It guarantees growth
Knowledge is what I’m seeking
About personality
Jesus became my focus
I studied his life
