God gave us minds to construe the truth

God gave us minds to construe the truth.
How then can it be heresy to think? Yet thought
in love with itself must earn reproof,
if ignorant of what the witnesses have taught.
God gave us minds to construe the truth.

But blind obedience has its hazards too.
We can only reap what we have sown.
Live in the balance.  Give guidance its due,
but make the darkest mysteries your own.
God gave us minds to construe the truth.
