Known

God's eyes span wider than a roaming drone,
scanning the earth, searching deep the unknown,
examining hearts, even marrow of bone.

His ears hear swifter than a telephone.
Even from the heights of His mighty throne,
He partakes of each praise and grieves each groan.

God sent the living Word to make himself known.
Every seed of creation, the throng of life sown,
the indwelling Holy Spirit--- His megaphone.

Orchestrating each path the wind has blown,
watching each dropping leaf and prickly pine cone,
God strengthens tree roots, under hardships grown.

His grace beams upon us; We're never alone
as He tries hearts and reins, perfecting His own,
teaching us to know Him as we are known.
