How long, O Lord ? Will You forget me forever ? How long… will there be sorrow in my heart daily ? How long will my enemy be exalted over me ? Ps. 13:1.

Question Freak

And if ‘how long ?’ were not enough
I ask yet questions more.
‘why’?, chiefest, I suppose.

My soul, afloat on Your great sea,
depends on You.
Trusting, I never want
my hand on the rudder,
for all the time I know
the right to question’s Yours,
and mine to answer give
by daily walk, obedience, trust,
to Your straightforward probe,
the only relevant one -
‘Lovest thou Me ?’
