“What You’re teaching me” (#19)
Sometimes, to people it may seem that we know all there is to know;
However, do we really have that knowledge? The answer is simply no.
“Boy, you must know everything!” People sometimes say.
When they do, in my mind, I remember to turn such pride away.
For I am not the all-knowing being-that even I can see;
the one who deserves that praise is You-the one teaching me.
You tell me what I should do every day of my life.
Without You, Christianity would be impossible, full of error, sin, and strife.
All that I know, You’ve given to me, through Your Word and the people at school;
So that, using the gift for Your glory alone, I might be a useful and productive tool.
So let me remain humble in Your sight, O God, and may all my knowledge be used to give You laud.
