Verse 1: Wisdom cries out in the streets, Her voice echoes through the town, Seeking hearts that yearn to hear, Guidance for the lost and found. The fear of the Lord is the start, To understanding's open door, With knowledge and discretion, Our spirits can soar. Chorus: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own way, In all your paths acknowledge Him, He’ll guide you every day. Keep His words within your soul, They’re life and health to you, Like a tree of life they'll grow, With leaves forever new. Verse 2: My child, heed the father’s call, And cherish mother’s law, They’re garlands for your head, And pendants for your heart. A gentle answer turns away wrath, A harsh word stirs up strife, A righteous heart spreads love and peace, In every walk of life. Chorus: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own way, In all your paths acknowledge Him, He’ll guide you every day. Keep His words within your soul, They’re life and health to you, Like a tree of life they'll grow, With leaves forever new. Bridge: Lazy hands bring poverty, But diligent hands bring wealth, A cheerful heart brings good health, A crushed spirit dries the bones. Guard your heart above all else, It’s the wellspring of your life, Keep your eyes on the path ahead, Avoid the way of strife. Verse 3: The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, But a fool’s mouth speaks folly, Gracious words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, healing to the bones. Walk with the wise and grow wise, For a companion of fools suffers harm, A gentle spirit finds peace and rest, In wisdom’s loving arms. Chorus: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own way, In all your paths acknowledge Him, He’ll guide you every day. Keep His words within your soul, They’re life and health to you, Like a tree of life they'll grow, With leaves forever new. Outro: So let wisdom be your guide, In every step you take, For the Lord gives wisdom, And a path that won’t forsake.
