Lord, satisfy my curiosity
For
I have long searched out your genealogy
I am now sufficiently impressed by your biography
And how it impacts history
Is quite another story.
Of course, it must be key
To the reason why time is counted based on your nativity.
There is quite clearly
No mystery to your ingenuity and magnanimity --
I guess someday when I understand your psychology.
It won't take an eternity
If I may ask to start immediately.
"Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me."
Psalm 119:17-19 KJV
