O that I may know Him to the fullest <br />To the deepest degree possible to man <br />To drench myself in His knowledge <br />Till all my doubts and questions wilt <br />And my sins and indulgences arrested <br />To stand denuded before Him unafraid <br />Unclad and yet not chilled with terror <br />To approach Him with joy abounding <br />And life’s circumstances hope renew <br />Fully abandoned in joyful surrender <br /> <br />O that I may know Him to the fullest <br />To trust Him, and all my cares submit <br />To walk in Him my livelihood assured <br />To never be confounded by life’s toil <br />To know in my bones I belong to Him <br />That what befalls me is to His concern <br />To retire each day reposed in tranquility <br />And to awake enraptured in His presence <br />To know Him and to be clad in His love <br />To live life unveiled yet without shame<br /><br />Oyekake Satty (O. S.) Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/assured-in-his-knowledge/
