My church Homegroup was meeting for our study on Proverbs and one of my friends who was leading it asked if I had a poem to fit the passage about wisdom and foolishness and I said I didn’t but that I would write one for her. So I did. This is the result. I think this one took 10 mins 🙂
Those who fear the Lord
Will live a righteous life
They trust in all He says
He protects them from worry and strife
The one who turns his back
On the Lord our God and King
Will find no peace in trouble
He struggles in everything
So come my righteous ones
Act wisely in all you do
Keep your eyes on Jesus
To bring peace and joy to you
The fear of the Lord prolongs life
So keep wisdom as your crown
Remember her in all you do
So that in troubles you wont drown
The one who made the heavens
Our God Our Saviour Our King
He made us in his image
To us he is everything
So live a life that honors Him
Bring glory to His name
The One who gives us wisdom
We will never be the same
