Be Wise
Wise are all those who heed the call of God,
"Repent, for the kingdom of God is near",
With the Gospel of peace, you must be shod,
Salvation is through Jesus Christ, oh hear!
Wise are all those who gain understanding,
Choose instruction instead of mere money,
More precious than red rubies enchanting
Is the taste of the Lord, He's like honey,
Wise are all those who fear God, hate evil,
By wisdom, kings reign and rulers make laws,
Whoso finds wisdom escapes the devil,
Whose clutches are sharp as a lion's jaws,
Wise are all those who listen and turn back
From worldly ways to Heaven's open gate,
Wisdom calls out, give ear to Master's track,
Be wise, choose life - Christ Jesus, the Way Straight.
