God’s Wisdom


God's word says blessed is the man
Who finds wisdom today
Lord help me to use wisdom
In all I do and say
Help me to think before I speak
Seek Your help in all I do
For Christians need Your wisdom
To guide them their life through

Many times we say something
From off the top of our head
Later on our hearts are filled
With much fear and dread
We question within ourselves
Did I say anything wrong
Did I put my two cents in
Where it didn't belong

Lord if we use Your wisdom
In all we say and do
People will know it's right
They'll know it comes from You
We must use wisdom to guide us
All along life's way
If we don't use Your wisdom
We could lead someone astray

So many times in my life
I didn't use it there
Help me to learn from my mistakes
Help me always be aware
That if I use Your wisdom
In all I say and do
Things will go much better
For I'll be following You.
