More Than I Can Name

God, I start with a question How can this black sky hold stars I draw a line from window to moon And call it understanding

The answer slips beyond my hands But not beyond my song

Morning at the kitchen counter Steam clouds the windowpane I leave my questions by the fruit The day begins anyway

More than I can name God, the mystery remains I bring You questions Not answers dressed as proof More than I can name And still You draw me near I cannot solve the mystery But I can sing Your name

The moon moves one degree The kettle clicks behind I stop asking You to fit The whole world in my mind

And still, You are here In the quiet and the dust I cannot trace the edges But I can offer trust

More than I can name God, the mystery remains I bring You questions Not answers dressed as proof More than I can name And still You draw me near I cannot solve the mystery but I can sing Your name

More than I can name God, the mystery remains I bring You questions Not answers dressed as proof More than I can name And still You draw me near I cannot solve the mystery But I can sing Your name

God, the mystery remains I sing Your name
