Hidden Half

"And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon.... she said to the king.... behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard" (2 Chronicles 9:3-6).

One day we surely shall behold
The rest of heaven's story
To find the half had not been told
Of Jesus and His glory.

For now our vision is so dim
We cannot comprehend
The matchless glories found in Him
Who is our dearest Friend.

For surely Christ exceeds the fame
Of every mortal word.
We scratch the surface of His name;
There's so much more unheard!

Yet till we cross the sea of time
And come to heaven's shore,
There's still so much of the sublime
In Christ we may explore!
