Wisdom is a rich adornment
A lovely gift for sure,
And is found in full abundance
In God's Word so pure.
Wisdom is God's covering
To help us through each day,
Given to guide and guard us
Lest our footsteps go astray.
He spills it out around us
That we might careful be.
For as we seek to know His ways,
This gift will keep us free.
Long life and peace and happiness
Will follow all our days.
Health and strength and confidence
Will accompany our ways.
Happy is he who gathers it
And collects it in large measure,
Who savors the gold and silver in it.
For He will have found treasure.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
James 1:5 NKJ
"The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."
James 3:17 NKJ
