Words of Wisdom
Does not wisdom cry?
And understanding put forth her voice?
Her lips shall not produce a lie
To listen or not is your choice
Unto you, oh men, i call.
And my voice is to the sons of man
Oh ye simple, wisdom understand: And ye fools be quick to take her hand. For she will show you something grand.
Wisdom has built her house
She has hewn out her seven pillars
Her pillars of fire illuminates the desires
Of all of King Solomon's builders
Receive her instruction rather than silver
And knowledge rather than choice gold
For by her is the soul of man delivered
And the divine secrets are told
Make all my kind words to flow as a river
Make me a sight to behold
Make me a prophet a seer a giver
arm me with words to cause one to shiver
As if they were out in the cold
Make me strong, tenacious, and bold
And to the eye never be sold
And at least let my wisdom increase
In my days when i am old
And as for you dear reader
You'll find out for yourself
That those hearing wisdom believe her
Triumph over sickness and death
And understanding put forth her voice?
Her lips shall not produce a lie
To listen or not is your choice
Unto you, oh men, i call.
And my voice is to the sons of man
Oh ye simple, wisdom understand: And ye fools be quick to take her hand. For she will show you something grand.
