Sometimes I think I finally understand something,
But it slips away like water in a hand.
I have a simple idea of life and God through my story
That appears radically wrong to mainstream Christianity.
I struggle, toil, and study to discover the deep things of God and man,
And I am left with more questions upon unanswered questions.
My finite brain trying to wrap around the infinite mind of Christ,
I am left with the light and dark simplicity of following the Holy Spirit,
Working my salvation out with fear and trembling,
And constantly screwing up because I am nowhere near like Christ.
I go back to the Gospel again and again,
The basics of grace, mercy, love, forgiveness—
My heart dwells there like a child eating candy.
Are we ever able to follow grasp the Gospel?
Is there anything basic or simple about God?
As I am trying to rationalize these things with my mind,
I realize, I am unable to fully comprehend
Because it all comes down to faith.
