Taste and see that the LORD is good

"Taste and see that the LORD is good",
                  the psalmist poetically proclaims.
But, as I get to know you better LORD
I think my taste buds need to change.

Because as I dare to question
I find, the answers aren’t always agreeable
And as you reveal yourself to me
I confess you’re not always palatable

I guess when I was a child I ate like a child,
was fed by others like a child
and had a simple sweet tooth.
Now I’m a woman, I need to put childish ways behind me
maybe eat more adventurously?
and certainly more healthily.

Because the truth is, you are rich
A complex mix of different flavours
With sweet comes sour, with smooth comes coarse
That a mature palate learns to savour

I want to relish in you
And recommend you to my friends
So my prayer is this:

Develop my taste buds LORD
So that you would taste good
                                            Amen.
