Not enough



If I knew you well enough
I would want to know no other
How much i know you now
Is not enough

If I feared you well enough
I would fear no man no other
How much i fear you now
Is not enough

If i loved you well enough
I would love no one or other
How much i love you now
Is not enough

If i followed you true enough
I would follow no vain other
How much i follow you now
Is not enough

Had enough of the not enough
Lord, desperately need to
Know, fear, love and follow you
Till its enough!
