Meditations on the Way: Poems of a Christian Journey

Wisdom

Man s wisdom has not taught me

The things in life I know;

Man s wealth is not what bought me-

On other paths I go.

Saved by Jesus righteousness.

Healed by His gentle Hand,

Harvested to fruitfulness

As a fertile, sun-blest land.

How shall I respond to this,

For He has borne my sorrow-

He has left His home of bliss

To die, my pains to borrow!

Take from me those joys of mine

That are not found in Good,

Leave me just Your Grace Divine

And a heart with Peace imbued.

Love s flower shall bloom, and I will sing

Christ s Glory all my days,

And never want for anything

Forever, but His Praise.
