Listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom.
Keep them in your sight.
Listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom,
For they will be your life.
Walk the straight and brighter ways,
Trust the Lord for all your days.
Listen to the words of wisdom,
Hide them in your heart.
It's what you say.
It's what you love.
It's where you go.
It's who you trust.
It's when you're young
And when you're old.
It's treasure more than silver or gold.
Listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom.
Keep them in your sight.
Listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom,
For they will be your life.
Walk the straight and brighter ways,
Trust the Lord for all your days.
Listen to the words of wisdom,
Hide them in your heart.
It's where you look.
It's where you don't.
It's when you will.
And when you won't.
It's what you leave.
It's what you hold.
It's a father who will never let go.
So listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom.
Keep them in your sight.
Listen to the words, listen to the words of wisdom,
For they will be your life.
Walk the straight and brighter ways,
Trust the Lord for all your days.
Listen to the words of wisdom,
Hide them in your heart.
Walk the straight and brighter ways,
Trust the Lord for all your days.
And listen to the words of wisdom,
Hide them in your heart.
