Today’s song is called Voices from 20schemes. The writer of the song explains the intention of the song is “to try and embed a few of the key principles that we learn from the book of Proverbs. While reading through Proverbs around a table, with a mix of mature believers, unbelievers, and new believers who had just recently come to faith but had no background knowledge whatsoever of the Bible, one of the things I was aware of was how this book could easily be misread or misunderstood. Without a thorough grounding of the free work of grace, the gospel, what Jesus accomplished on the cross and in His resurrection, Proverbs could easily be made into a kind of spiritual self-help book. In short, an unbeliever can easily take some vague ‘good advice’ from the book of Proverbs.1” I hope you enjoy this one!

And on earth belong to Him
Fount of wisdom, truth and love;
Christ, our refuge from our sin
As we walk this narrow way
Speak O Lord with clarity
We are prone to go astray
Give us hearts that cling to Thee
Give us wisdom, understanding
Give us hearts of reverent fear
In our weakness walk beside
In Your mercy draw us near
When the voice of folly speaks
With her charm and vanity
Though seductive her deceit
Give us hearts that run to Thee
When the voice of wisdom speaks
In her calm and purity
Welcome simple hearts that seek
Life eternal found in Thee
Give us wisdom, understanding,
Make the danger clear to see
Mute the voices of this world
Guide our wandering hearts to Thee
When the tempters voice is strong
Raise our eyes to Calvary
Now the chains that bound are gone
Hallelujah! Praise to Thee!
You are worthy! You are worthy!
You have won the victory!
In our weakness walk beside
Now our souls find rest in Thee.
