we knew our nakedness
biting into the flesh of the fruit
of the forbidden tree
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
the psalmist wrote, oh so long ago
We forget so often
forget He is a jealous God
forget our weakness without him
walk in our own paths
for a separate false idol
graven images and temporal pleasures
Opportunities of epiphany lost
in our self-reliance
Cleave to the Lord
follow his commands
love one another
share in the Good News
Hear His still voice
burning within you now
