Instruction and Wisdom

Single verse MIDI audio track available at https://hymnary.org/tune/streets_of_laredo

—–

Since riches are fleeting and not what we’re needing,

(as soon as we trust them they take wing and fly),

Buy truth and don’t sell it. Hold on, cause it’s well if

instruction and wisdom can show you the way.

—–

Allow nothing stop you from striving for justice;

Keep widows and orphans away from your greed.

Buy truth and don’t sell it. Hold on, cause it’s well if

instruction and wisdom can show you the way.

—–

Don’t envy the sinner but, always continue

in love for your neighbors and awe of the Lord.

Buy truth and don’t sell it. Hold on, cause it’s well if

instruction and wisdom can show you the way.

—–

A future’s assured where your hope has been waiting.

You won’t be cut off, your redeemer is strong.

Buy truth and don’t sell it. Hold on, cause it’s well if

instruction and wisdom can show you the way.
