O Wisdom II

Nov 20, 2015, 12:32 AM

"O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from one end to the other mightily, and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of prudence. " In the silence, before song and speech The Spirit breaths o'er the water's night; Wisdom inhales all creation to teach Awaiting the command, “Let there be light!” O'er Sinai the I AM's glory thunders Wisdom speaks again, makes His glory known Writes with his own hand in worded wonders Promise revealed onto tablets of stone.

Isaiah's King shall rule with right wisdom. Jesse's leaf and root, a counselor with sight With justice leads the poor in his kingdom Lifts up the meek, sets brokenness aright. Tonight, Wisdom waits, poised in the world's wild-- Exhales in the darkness through the cries of a child.
