**Verse 1:** Vain hopes of the senseless, dreams in the night, Fools chase after shadows, believing in the flight. Reflections in slumber, fleeting and unreal, In the mind's fantasies, truth can't conceal. **Chorus:** Wisdom's call rings true, in experience we find, Through travels and dangers, in the heart and mind. Fear the Lord, the source of life's true breath, In His shelter, find refuge from fear and death. **Verse 2:** The educated know much, from books and lore, But experience teaches what wisdom's truly for. In dangers faced, in perils near and far, We learn life's lessons, beneath the guiding star. **Chorus:** Wisdom's call rings true, in experience we find, Through travels and dangers, in the heart and mind. Fear the Lord, the source of life's true breath, In His shelter, find refuge from fear and death. **Bridge:** Offerings of ill-gotten gain, blemished and stained, The gifts of the lawless, by righteousness constrained. The Lord seeks justice, mercy, and grace, Not empty sacrifices, in a hollow, faithless race. **Chorus:** Wisdom's call rings true, in experience we find, Through travels and dangers, in the heart and mind. Fear the Lord, the source of life's true breath, In His shelter, find refuge from fear and death. **Outro:** In humbleness and truth, let our prayers arise, From hearts purified, under heaven's boundless skies. For in the fear of the Lord, wisdom's path is clear, In His loving embrace, find solace, hope, and cheer.
