Lyrics

VERSE 1
I will hold to wisdom closely, like a sister to my heart.
I will keep her always near me, let Your voice become my guide.
Understanding like a family, like a friend who guards my soul.
She will keep me from deception; she protects my inner world.

PRE-CHORUS
Make my soul stay watchful, make my spirit strong.
Keep my heart from wandering, keep me where I belong.

CHORUS
Wisdom, stay here beside me, be my sister, be my shelter.
Lead me far from hidden danger, be my strength and my direction.
I don't want to walk without You, I want purpose in my days.
Wisdom, stay here beside me. I want purpose in my days.
Wisdom, stay here beside me.

VERSE 2
From the window I can see him, walking blindly through the night.
Darkness calls with quiet power, setting traps before his life.
Soft words slowly pull him closer, false affection draws him in.
He can't see behind the doorway waits the death of heart and soul.

BRIDGE
Keep me far from temptation, make my devotion strong.
I don't want to fall like others into passion’s song.
Many strong men have fallen when they guard their hearts no more.
I want wisdom for my future, I will live in holy fear.

FINAL CHORUS
Wisdom, stay here beside me, be my sister, be my shelter.
Lead me far from hidden danger, be my strength and my direction.
I don't want to walk without You, I want purpose in my days.
Wisdom, stay here beside me.
