Worth Knowing

Every jot, very tittle Everything written, everything said All our moves, all our sounds He knows them, every one Pick up a blade of grass Every cell, every compound Every molecule, every subatomic particle He knows it A detailed history Of every cubic nanometer of all creation He knows it And he's person And you can know him The vast reaches of pristine territory The unknown depths of the ocean floor The unfathomable expanse of the universe He fills it He thought it up He spoke it into being And it was And you can know him The evidence of him is all around us On every child's face Every bird's graceful movement Every crashing wave He walked among us and will again soon He touched and loved and healed Provided and nurtured and taught He revealed and exemplified And he bore all our failings and brokenness That we might know him No oversight, no omission, no error He knows all And has a cure for all The Lover of our souls in search of friends And you can know him Who would you rather know? Some movie star? Some 'great man' in the world? Or a Creator so great That he invents the people Who can do the things they do? And you can know him You can know him -Stephen Pursell, 3/28/03
