General (Vol. 2)
Wisdom and Love
- The wise are loyal friends of truth;
In what they sense and in their books
They see the evidence emerge
From every quarter where they look
But I have slowly learned to see,
For Jesus brought the truth to me. - The wise are careful when they judge;
Balancing all the evidence,
Weighing the harsh, opposing words
Of prosecution and defence:
But I have been judged with more than mercy,
Because Jesus lived and died for me. - The wise seek past the obvious;
Probing the distant lands of thought
To see the worth of human life
that cannot be defaced nor bought:
But Jesus paid an infinite price
Of love for me in sacrifice. - The wise are vigilant in all;
Preventing hazards yet unseen,
Refusing to be prisoners
Of retrospective and routine:
But when I face adversity
Jesus will always look for me.
