Is This Egotry?

by Patience Worth

Patience Worth

I make no argument with God.
Is this egotry? Methinks I have listened
O'er long to His arguments from the lips of men,
For each man tunes his own mouthings
With God's convictions, declaring himself
The trumpet of truth at the hand of the Lord
I make no argument with God.
I find Him in silence! So why need I list
To the prating of man, who sets his words
Tortured in complication? I say I hear
In silence the still voice within me, and know
It is not afraid that it acclaim my faith.
I make no argument with God.
In this I announce not mine own egotry-
But admit man's!
