None But You

From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”   John 6:66-69

there are things in this life

that no man knows,

things dark and far away

that even the night

does not reveal;

all my life

I have searched for

answers and truth,

and have found only one,

everywhere I have tasted mediocrity

as it cries out for more;

I have witnessed madness,

I have endured anonymity,

(there is a fine line between the two);

through it all,

only one light has shone,

through it all,

only one hope has remained;

Lord, You are all I have,

who else has the truth?

who else has the light?

who else has the words

of life and hope?

none but you my Lord,

none but you;

where would I go

even if I would,

where would I turn

even if I could?

none but you my Lord,

none but you.
