Wisdom Wanted

orchidee



Tune: Irish

('Thy kingdom come, on bended knee')

James 1 v.5-8

*******

If any of you lack wisdom

Then ask you of God some

He gives to all liberally

'Tis for the asking free

 

He upbraids not, no reproach, scold

We can ask sure and bold

Ask wisdom, it shall given be

To meet your needs wholly

 

But ask in faith, not wavering

Not unsure nor doubting

For they who waver, doubt, they be

As wave tossed on the sea

 

Blown about here and there, wind drives

Them, they no settled thrives

Such shall not receive anything

From God in their doubting

 

A double minded person be

Unstable always, see

In what they do they changeable

Not constant nor faithful

    My parents made me and my siblings remember this scripture when we were younger. "If any of you lacks wisdom, ask God for some". I'll never forget! This one's very good!
