Love follows knowledge
St Thomas Aquinas

One cannot love who one does not know.
Dear Lord, help us know about You.
Help us all to know You LORD.
May we trust in all that You do.

One cannot love who one does not know.
This fact rings everywhere true.
With knowledge of You, bless our loved ones.
Let their first love be a love of You.

They piled their books so high LORD.
And then they went off to college.
But none of this matters a bit LORD.
If of You, they’re now lacking in knowledge.

Give to each loved one true knowledge LORD.
Let knowledge of You be their guide.
May they traverse life’s mountains and valleys.
With You and Your truths by their side.

St. Thomas Aquinas has told us,
That knowledge must come before love.
Bless each loved one now with knowledge,
By grace which flows down from above.
