Knowledge

As you grow and you learn,
You gain knowledge of the slave;
If you would go beyond and earn,
Then willy-nilly—leave the cave!

The milk of love can grow the boy,
And experience can grow the man;
And a box contains it that you employ—
Even doing the very best you can!

That box holds treasure and also sin;
Beyond it is silence and only the bier,
Only your life is contained within,
Only your life is your solace here.

So look beyond the box of life,
And look for mercy, love and grace,
Hold on to your Savior through the strife,
Hold on to Jesus and win the race!
