Know Thyself,
Of what do we fear?
To know ones self
Of what do we fear?
To discover some part
Something of not, yet is.
Of what do we fear?
To find some part
Denied, dismissed as weakness
Wherein is our strength?
How many times denied and
How many times dismissed?
Forsaken, most precious part.
How guiding yet easily dismissed
How true yet quickly forsaken
And in our weakness we denying.
Something of not
Because we know it not
Nor do we understand.
Something of not
Because we choose it not
Not knowing that we can.
Discover, Know thyself
Choose and be amazed
Of what do we fear?
To know ones self
Of what do we fear?
To discover some part
Something of not, yet is.
Of what do we fear?
Denied, dismissed as weakness
Forsaken, that truly most precious.
The wonder of God within us
His Love and most precious part.
How guiding not dismissed
How true and not forsaken
In weakness we discover our strength.
Is Love, His most precious part.
Of what do we fear?
To know ones self
Of what do we fear?
To discover some part
Something of not, yet is.
Of us, understanding, impart.
