Analysis of Looking Forward
My little knowledge breakes down
after traveling an extent,
When I seek to follow thine glory
I fail badly.
Today I surrender myself to thine feet
and question why hast thou let me sit up for
though time has travelled a long path.
Hey lord; commandest me
what am I assigned for.
