Verse
From the beginning, before all things were made,
Wisdom stands with roots so deep and wide,
Measured by the hands of time, she guides our way,
A gift upon the faithful's heart she freely laid.
Chorus
Wisdom comes from the Lord, like rain upon the earth,
Who can count the drops or measure all their worth?
The fear of God is how it starts, this crown of rejoicing,
With every step, she fills our hearts, in her we're rejoicing.
Verse 2
In the quiet of our days, she draws near,
Eternal like the sky, vast as oceans blue,
Her branches are length of days, in her we trust,
With every fruit she bears, she fills our dreams anew.
Chorus
Wisdom comes from the Lord, like rain upon the earth,
Who can count the drops or measure all their worth?
The fear of God is how it starts, this crown of rejoicing,
With every step, she fills our hearts, in her we're rejoicing.
Bridge
Just like the faithful in the womb, she's always there,
Pouring down understanding, in her tender care.
Chorus
Wisdom comes from the Lord, like rain upon the earth,
Who can count the drops or measure all their worth?
The fear of God is how it starts, this crown of rejoicing,
With every step, she fills our hearts, in her we're rejoicing.
