The Revival of the Ignorant

Can I accept the revival of the ignorant?

Does foolishness invalidate the seeker?

Must the worshiper be doctrinally sound?

Must the penitent be ultimately wise?

Should I rejoice at misguided spirituality?

Should I declare the presence of the glory?

Or must all be right and true

Before I can begin to praise You?

Or is it more important that I

Should join the throngs of the Church,

Though she be crippled, and deaf, and dumb, and blind,

And covered in ashes and dirt?

Would God receive the praises of him who

Cannot tell his left from his right?
But maybe I myself am no more wiser
In the shadow of His marvelous light.
