Ode To Wisdom - Proverbs 8

Ode To Wisdom - Proverbs 8 [Intro] On the hill where the paths meet, can you hear the call? Wisdom cries out in the silence, for the lost and for us all [Verse 1] In the city where the gates stand, near the entrance bright and clear A voice resonates with purpose, calling out for all to hear O you simple, stop and listen, seek a heart that's wise and true For the treasures of understanding are waiting here for you [Pre-Chorus] With every perfect word she speaks, truth flows from her lips Wickedness finds no home here, she’s cradled by grace's gifts [Chorus] Oh, wisdom, you are a light, shining through the darkest night Better than the finest gold, your riches won't grow old Listen closely, oh take heed, for in your heart you’ll find the seed Wisdom's path will lead the way, through the night into the day [Verse 2] She walks the line of righteousness, between the wrong and right A voice of strength, a guide to kings, she reigns in every fight From the dawn of creation, her spirit’s seen it all Before the mountains came to rise, before the heavens call [Bridge] Through the depths and over waters, she was crafted by design A master craftsman, joyfully, beside the Source Divine Rejoicing in this world we share, her breath within our souls She beckons gently, whispering, to make our spirits whole [Chorus] Oh, wisdom, you are a light, shining through the darkest night Better than the finest gold, your riches won't grow old Listen closely, oh take heed, for in your heart you’ll find the seed Wisdom's path will lead the way, through the night into the day [Outro] Now my children, hear this truth, stay close and you'll be blessed For finding wisdom brings you life, a heart that's truly blessed Envelop wisdom in your arms, let her love your soul ignite For he who embraces wisdom, brings life into the light [Written and arranged by Russell Barton]
