How comfortable I was, in my ignorance
For the less I knew, the less I had to see
The fault in the world and the fault in me
How blind I was in this sinful world
So much sin I was blinded by
I went upon my day, without question of why
Why am I here, what kind of life should I live
Am I living for me, this world, or is there more
Not fully seeing what God had in store
I didn’t recognize all the corruption
I remained stagnant in my day
I followed my own, instead of His way
I didn’t listen to His word or direction
Though I could sometimes hear
That still small voice calling me near
Though I believed in Him
Who called out my name
I still often lived the same
Though I don’t know how
Or exactly when
That day He truly saved me from sin
In my ignorance there was less I saw
Less sin and corruption
Though it isn’t bliss if it leads to destruction
I see more brokenness and transgression
Though I also see more love and grace
I’ve learned it’s better to be wiser in this place
So, I will journey with the Lord by my side
Until I’m heaven bound
Humility in my heart and love that does abound

Ignorance can be comfortable. For in the more we know, the more sin we see. Although wisdom is a blessing, it reveals more corruption than we thought existed. More responsibilities to not sin. Though through wisdom we can learn to walk better with our Lord and Savior. There is nothing more fulfilling and rewarding than that.
Luke 12:47-48 NIV
“The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
