Solomon was the wisest man in history
Begot his wisdom through no mystery
He prayed for the power to glorify the Lord
Not for his own adoration or earthly reward
Wisdom is far greater than silver or gold
Throughout Proverbs these truths are told
You won’t attain wisdom from a Masters Degree
Reverence to the Lord is the first steps to be free
Wisdom is truth and light it’s lasting and judicious
It will be given to you with love that’s propitious
Wisdom is prudence knowledge and morality
In seeking this you will escape the chains of mortality
Wisdom is justice and righteousness for His namesake
Giving counsel and sound judgment for those who partake
Wisdom is the simple understanding of the Lord’s ways
Be wise and allow Him to guide you the rest of yours days
