Lyrics
I want to be driven like the fathers
Who came before me
Not stop till my fingers bleed
Hands calloused over atrophy
I want to know wisdom and instruction
With understanding
And the more I gain
The more I thirst for more
I'll trade my silver for gold
Exchange this world for my soul
Please give me wisdom
And help me to listen
Wisdom calls out in the streets
In the markets she raises her voice
It's always a choice
Which pathway will I take today?
Do not be afraid of sudden terror
Or the ruin of the wicked when it comes
For the Lord will be your confidence
And will keep your foot from being caught
I'll trade my silver for gold
Exchange this world for my soul
Please give me wisdom
And help me to listen
I'm selling all that I own to buy a field with hidden treasures of old
Please give me Jesus and take this world away from us
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
And the discernment of the discerning I will thwart
I'll shame the wise with the foolish
The strong with the weak
For I equip the called for the kingdom that they seek
The fear of the Lord
Is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge
That's what we seek
I need You
I want to be driven like the fathers
Not stop till my fingers bleed
I want to know wisdom and instruction
And the more I gain
The more I thirst for more
