The Riches of Wisdom
In this world, riches are comparatively few
the ones that are, seem not to be wise
Solomon chose correctly seeking wisdom
far above all riches sought the right prize
Having all the money in this world
would have no value at all to me
the true source of riches is my God
who owns all as far the eye can see
Jesus said if you gain the whole world
what do you gain if you lose your soul?
for we leave this world with nothing
ending up like Oliver with an empty bowl
So stick close to Jesus your true love
He gave up all His riches to save you
giving you His wisdom to live for Him
the riches of God are yours forever new
