Spirit Wisdom
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
The mature impart wisdom,
Not the wisdom of this age;
No access to the Kingdom,
That are doomed in the next stage.
They are doomed to pass away,
We speak the wisdom of God;
But we keep going astray,
Which is why we become flawed.
God decreed ere the ages,
No ruler has understood;
Violence and war rages,
The His glory never would.
What no eye has ever seen,
Nor any ear would have heard;
God has prepared what has been,
As is written in the Word.
What God prepared as to love,
As these things have been revealed;
For His Spirit from above,
With glory as unconcealed.
For who knows the thoughts of man,
Just the mind of that person;
No one knows about God’s plan,
And the thoughts of everyone.
We have the Spirit of God,
And not the spirit of the world;
Why we must honor and laud,
To realize what has unfurled.
We impart in what we speak,
Not as to what man has taught;
But His Spirit that we seek,
The spiritual truth is sought.
