Analysis of God Only Wise
Wisdom unfathomable, God only wise.
So incomprehensible in human guise.
To men unbelievable, How can this be?
It’s so inconceivable, He became like me.
Manhood and full Deity combined in flesh.
In human frailty such holiness.
I fall down and worship and His anthem raise
for He is so worth it, worthy of praise.
