like a proverb in the mouth of a fool
so are Your words, oh Lord,
to my simple mind...
long years of education
do not change that...
I am broken, a wanderer...
I am lost without You, oh God...
 
may I hold Your Word
Your words of holy wisdom,
like a mirror before me...
may I see my folly
when I seek You, oh God...
Help me to change...
to follow You only...
 
gift me wisdom,
to see myself truly,
to run from my pride -
my endless folly...
Lead me to You,
to Your truth,
to Your Love, oh God...
