I Wanted To See What No Man Comprehends Poem by Gert Strydom

I Wanted To See What No Man Comprehends

Rating: 5.0

(after N.P. van Wyk Louw)

I raised my eyes to You
and wanted to look past this world
into infinity, into eternity
but before You I was naked
and covered in sin
but still You created images
and emotions in my depths,
You just drew me nearer to Your fatherly heart.
