From the recording The Beginning of Wisdom
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Go and learn from simple wisdom, see the ant and understand.
It prepares and works in season, moves with purpose, moves with plan.
Do not sleep away tomorrow, do not drift and lose your way.
A little rest, a little waiting, and our strength begins to fade.
PRE-CHORUS:
Teach my heart to walk in wisdom, keep my steps alert and true.
I don’t want to live careless, I want to live for You.
CHORUS:
You correct the ones You love, You restore and You renew.
Your discipline is mercy, Your truth is pulling me through.
I will listen, I will learn, I will walk within Your light.
You correct the ones You love, and You lead my life right.
VERSE 2:
There are things Your heart despises, prideful eyes and lying tongues.
Hands that harm and hearts that plan evil, feet that run where wrong is done.
Keep me far from empty promise, from a path that breaks my soul.
Let Your word be my protection, let Your wisdom guard me whole.
BRIDGE:
Bind Your truth upon my heart, write it deep within my soul.
When I wake and when I wander, let Your wisdom take control.
FINAL CHORUS:
You correct the ones You love, You restore and You renew.
I will listen, I will learn, I will walk with You.
