lyrics

Listen, my children,
And gain understanding
Listen to what I will say

At any cost you must
Gain understanding
From her words do not turn away

She cries aloud in the streets and towns
“Repent and hear me now!”
But can you hear her say…

“The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

Amidst all the lies
There is truth that
Cuts through the noise

The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

Can you hear my cries?
Turn from your ignorance and live
In the way of the wise”

She cries day and night
But her cries go unheard
Can’t you see the truth in her eyes?

All of your life
You’ve been steeped in confusion
You’ve bought into every lie

But she cries aloud in the streets and towns
“Repent and hear me now!”
But can you hear her say…

“The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

Amidst all the lies
There is truth that
Cuts through the noise

The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

Can you hear my cries?
Turn from your ignorance and live
In the way of the wise”

The way of the wicked
Is filled with delusion
Turn from it and all of its ways

You’ve drunk wine of violence,
Consumed bread of hatred,
But you will shine in the light of day

By wisdom the Lord
Created planet earth
Even before you were born
He knew the day of your birth

Men of pride will try to
Take away your prize
But don’t give them the time
Walk straight on down the line

Hold on to
All that you
Know to be true
Do not
Turn away
Or forsake
Jesus
Who is the way

The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

Amidst all the lies
There is truth that
Cuts through the noise

The dearness of life
Is found in
The way of the wise

I know you hear my cries
You’ve turned from ignorance to live
In the way of the wise
