Listen to poem:
Humbly approaching, bowing in reverence Acknowledging nothing I bring But a soul that implores You, a heart that adores You A child in the midst of the King Believing Your promise, assured of fulfillment Boldly I cast doubt aside To ask and receive, to seek and to find To knock ‘til the door opens wide It starts with the fear of the Lord Awesome, unequaled in power Vast comprehension, the source of all truth It starts with the fear of the Lord Spirit of wisdom, Spirit of knowledge Spirit of counsel and might Fountain of learning, enlightened instruction Brings riches and honour and life Supreme understanding, enduring forever Equity, strong confidence Boundless discretion, treasure of justice A perfect, complete sustenance It starts with the fear of the Lord Our fortress, our shield, our high tower Vast comprehension, the source of all truth It starts with the fear of the Lord Wisdom and knowledge and justice Starts with the fear of the Lord Equity, subtlety, judgement Starts with the fear of the Lord Learning, discretion, wise counsel Starts with the fear of the Lord Supreme understanding, enlightened instruction Starts with the fear of the Lord Vast comprehension, the source of all truth Starts with the fear of the Lord Boundless discretion, strong confidence Starts with the fear of the Lord Enduring forever, complete sustenance Starts with the fear of the Lord It starts with the fear of the Lord
