You did impress me much

Lord, satisfy my curiosity

For

I have long searched out your genealogy

I am now sufficiently impressed by your biography

And how it impacts history

Is quite another story.

Of course, it must be key

To the reason why time is counted based on your nativity.

There is quite clearly

No mystery to your ingenuity and magnanimity --

I guess someday when I understand your psychology.

It won't take an eternity

If I may ask to start immediately.

"Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me."

Psalm 119:17-19 KJV
