WHO AM I?

If I could speak with the tongue of an angel,
   I would still be me and not another;
and God would still be God even if I did not exist.

If I could speak with the voices of a thousand tongues,
   I would still be me and not another;
and God would still be God even if I did not exist.

If I could contain all wisdom and all knowledge,
   I would still be me and not another;
and God would still be God even if I did not exist.

If I should never write again, nor speak, nor sing,
   I would still be me and not another;
and God would still be God even if I did not exist.

Who am I, then, who should write, or speak, or sing of Him,
   who would still be God even if I did not exist?

If God had never created the earth,
   nor the sky, nor the heavens above the sky,
God would still be God
   even if He had never created
   that which we stand on, nor see above.

Who am I, then, who is no more than a speck
   in the universe of God's creation?
For God is still God
   even if I had no knowedge of Him,
and even if I
   could neither write, or speak, or sing of Him.

I am only me because of Him
   and without Him
I would not be me.

And no matter:
   though I am no bigger than a dot in the universe,
God knows me
   and He knows my name.
