The Nature of God

The Nature of God
By John A. Wilson


You come to me and ask
What is the nature of God?
That's an answer I can't give

Many have tried in many ways
To explain that which you ask
No one ever will.

Some say the nature of God is a circle
Whose center is everywhere
And whose circumference is nowhere.

I have heard God described as a tree
Every living being is a leaf
And its roots are infinity

Some describe God as a superior being
Yes God is superior
But a being ? No!

You ask why the nature of God
Cannot be described ?
It is because of words

Every language that man speaks
Uses words to describe
The things of this world

Words that describe the things
Of this world can never describe
A thing that is not.

God is not of this world
So the nature of God
Cannot be described

So the nature of God
Can never truly be told
It must be felt

So if you want to know
The nature of God
Look only into yourself

Clear your mind and open your heart
Look deeply into your heart
And there God will be found.
