Limits to everything human

Firenze, Italy. April 3th, 2016.

What you say goes, God,
   and stays, as permanent as the heavens.
Your truth never goes out of fashion;
   it’s as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up.
Your Word and truth are dependable as ever;
   that’s what you ordered—you set the earth going.
If your revelation hadn’t delighted me so,
   I would have given up when the hard times came.
But I’ll never forget the advice you gave me;
   you saved my life with those wise words.
Save me! I’m all yours.
   I look high and low for your words of wisdom.
The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me,
   but I’m only concerned with your plans for me.
I see the limits to everything human,
   but the horizons can’t contain your commands!
