Wisdom Lyrics

About the song:
This song was inspired by the book of Proverbs and a bible study I was a part of in college. I had the most amazing teacher and he helped me learn to love Proverbs and the practicality of the information. Proverbs talks about desiring wisdom above riches and fame and how it is one of the most valuable things you can have. This is my ode to Proverbs and my own yearning for wisdom.

Lyrics:
Humble yourself before the Almighty
That's where you find true wisdom
Make it your first step, make it your last thought
Lying in bed when the day's done

Hear it calling out your name in the busy streets in the center of town
Who will turn their face to truth and then live it out

Wisdom is greater than any fleeting
Pleasure that money brings you
Answers will come to those who pursue
The pathway to life that few choose

Hear it calling out your name in the busy streets in the center of town
Who will turn their face to truth and then live it out

Knowledge awaits you filling your arms
With more than they ever could grasp
Blessed are you who hunger for truth
And keep your eyes fixed on what lasts

Hear it calling out your name in the busy streets in the center of town
Who will turn their face to truth and then live it out
